Chapter 137

More than 5 troops defeated?

No way?The 2000 army was defeated?Is my [-] people enough for the Ming army?
"Hengshan! You are in charge of the rear! Stop the Ming army from pursuing!!"

Ishida Mitsunari recklessly issued the order to send Yokoyama Keiyoshi to die. Yokoyama Keiyoshi stared at the dog belt, looking at Ishida Mitsunari who was running away, stretched out his hand to stop him but didn't know what to say, he didn't want to die for them Here, but he had to accept this order. He felt a little unwilling, a little wronged, and a little sad. He didn't know if his master was safe inside.

"Where is the lord?!"

Hengshan Jingyi asked loudly.

Ishida Mitsunari paused, looked into the valley, did not speak, just shook his head and left, this shaking of the head shook Keiyoshi Yokoyama's heart, the meaning of this shaking of the head is no longer in such a battlefield It couldn't be more clear.

However, a cannon shot interrupted his despair.

A marked army horse team suddenly rushed out from the slope, shouting and roaring, and galloped their horses. A large flag with the word "Li" made many Japanese soldiers shout in horror.

That's right, the leading general of this cavalry team was Li Rusong, the general of the Ming army who had beaten the Kuroda army and the Kobayakawa army to death in Kaesong.

I saw Li Rusong charging forward with a black face and a cavalry of howling tigers and wolves, and quickly cut into the Japanese army formation. Hengshan Jingyi's troops were in chaos.

He couldn't understand why the Ming army appeared here, why the Ming army cavalry appeared here, this was the rear of the Japanese army, and it was the last line of defense of the Japanese army, how could the Ming army cavalry come out from here?what is going on?

Ishida Mitsunari and the others were also in a daze, and they finally reacted. They snatched a few horses and ran without looking back. Hengshan Jingyi, who was determined to resist, was unable to organize an army to effectively block Li Rusong's cavalry. The defeated Japanese pirates rushed out of the mountainous area of ​​Bichiguan one by one, disrupting the original formation at once.

Some defeated soldiers ran away on their own, dragging the resisting soldiers behind them as backs, and some defeated soldiers even dragged others off their horses and climbed up to run away, only to be dragged off by others and stomped several times. A horse was pulled back and forth many times and finally fell to the ground and couldn't help crying. The dumbfounded Japanese soldiers were hacked to death by the Ming cavalry in a blink of an eye.

Li Rusong only felt that there were too many Japanese pirate soldiers in front of him, so many that he couldn't kill them no matter what, even if they didn't resist at all and were just waiting to be killed, there was no time to kill them at all. This kind of bitter and sweet trouble belonged to the general. , making Li Rusong very depressed.

The Ming army packed up the Japanese pirates in sevens and eighties in the mountainous area, and the whole army pressed on. Outside the mountainous area, Li Rusong's cavalry was nailed to the valley entrance to prevent the Japanese army from fleeing. Only a small part of the Japanese army could break through Li Rusong's blockade and escape, and Li Rusong was also powerless. After chasing again, he can only be nailed to the spot and fight desperately, killing as many as he can, and at the same time resenting his lack of troops. The defeated Japanese pirates can't really stop them.

Li Rusong's heart was bleeding when he saw those fleeing Japanese pirates, their heads and their meritorious service. He became more and more annoyed, so Li Rusong could only use killing to calm his anger.

And what Hengshan Jingyi witnessed was about to drive him crazy. He couldn't fight back if he wanted to fight back, and he couldn't escape even if he wanted to escape. , I actually saw the battle flag of the Ming army appearing not far away!

"Ming soldiers are coming!!"

I don't know which pirate who was scared out of his wits shouted, and the people around him panicked and ran while shouting. The news spread quickly, which dealt a further fatal blow to the pirates who were fleeing for their lives. Fighting for their lives, a large number of Japanese soldiers were not killed by the Ming army, but died at the feet of their own people. The tragic situation when cleaning the battlefield after the war made many Ming army soldiers frown.

When he finally realized that the overall situation could not be changed, Hengshan Jingyi was in despair. Looking at the scenes inside, he didn't know whether the lord had escaped or if the lord had really died in battle, but no matter what, he wanted to fight for his own. The lord shows his last loyalty.

Hengshan Jingyi slashed his own loyalty with a knife, and when he died, a group of organized troops protecting him finally collapsed screaming in terror.

The situation soon became clear. Xiao Ruxun sent a few Japanese pirates who surrendered to shout "surrender, don't kill" on the battlefield, and spread the word. Groups of Japanese pirates made immediate decisions, dropped their weapons and knelt down to surrender. The battle ended in an instant. Why did the Japanese pirates who were desperately fleeing surrendered all of a sudden.

Haven't killed enough yet!
The surrender of the Japanese pirates is reasonable, Xiao Ruxun is not surprised at all, it would be strange if they were all stubborn and refused to surrender, the Japanese in this era are not stubborn enough, they still have a little bit of fear in the face of the heavenly kingdom, and they are afraid of being beaten. It was even more so after that, and the terrible memory of being beaten up by that incredibly powerful empire a thousand years ago came back to my heart again.

The Kingdom of Heaven is still the Kingdom of Heaven.

Xiao Ruxun worked in North Korea for three months to deal with logistics issues, and then went to war on October [-]. So far, in one month, he has wiped out the two legions of Konishi Governor and Kato Kiyomasa, and defeated them in Kaesong without stopping. The Kuroda-Kobayakawa allied forces captured Kaesong, and after several days of confrontation with the Japanese army on the Imjin River, they broke through the defense line of the Imjin River yesterday and successfully crossed the river. As of today, they have basically defeated the main force of the Japanese invaders.

Three months of laying the groundwork and one month of attack, the results of one month wiped out the hard work of the Japanese army for more than half a year and completely collapsed. Seeing that Seoul is about to end, their most important stronghold will also be destroyed, and half of North Korea will be destroyed in a blink of an eye. To recover, how can their ambitions be fulfilled?

Before this battle, the Japanese army was filled with the fear of Xiao Ruxun and the Ming army, but now, this fear became the fear after what they saw with their own eyes, and this fear catalyzed the fact that they put down their weapons and surrendered in batches.

On the evening of November 28, after a bloody battle that lasted for half a day, except for a small number of elite Japanese soldiers who escorted the Japanese high command to escape, the main force of the Japanese army was exhausted due to the blocking of the front and rear exits. According to preliminary statistics, the Ming army captured The Japanese army had 8000 soldiers, beheaded 2 people, beheaded more than 51 people, and killed [-] Japanese generals with surnames.

Among them, the head in Luo Shangzhi's hand was recognized by Xuansu, the head identification officer, Xuansu yelled in horror for a long time, and then confessed after drinking a glass of wine, saying that it was a family elder whom Toyotomi Hideyoshi relied on very much Masuda Changsheng, if Toyotomi Hideyoshi is compared to the Ming emperor, then Masuda Changsheng's status is roughly equivalent to the level of the six ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

Luo Shangzhi was stunned for a while before he realized how powerful the guy he stabbed to death was in Japan.

In his consciousness, this is at least the kind that can be exchanged for 500 taels of silver, 500 taels of silver!As long as he doesn't waste money, it is enough for his family to live a peaceful and beautiful life for ten years!
Then, according to some prisoners of the Japanese army, there was another Toyotomi Kato Koyasu who was killed by artillery fire from the Ming army. There was no bones left. Only a golden helmet was probably still on the mountain. Xiao Ruxun sent people to look for it and found a blood-stained helmet. The golden helmet looks like it's not something ordinary people can use, and what the captive said is indeed right.

As for the Ming army, 350 soldiers were killed in battle, and more than 23 were lightly or seriously injured or sick. The total casualties were [-]. This is the largest casualty since the launch. Some were Wu Weizhong's subordinates, and Li Rusong's Jurchen cavalry, including the rest of the army. The Ming army killed hundreds of households and [-] grassroots officers, three guerrillas, and one general. None of the main generals died in battle. Quite a few were injured.

The only regrettable thing is the passing away of Master Xiu Jing.
