Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 687
In this era, there was no radio, no reconnaissance satellites. During the Japanese predatory war of destruction, the local ruling order of the Joseon Dynasty was completely broken. The Qing army did not know where the Japanese attacked. In Yuyue Town, they met unexpectedly. This is how the first battle took place.

At the beginning, the establishment of slaves suffered a little loss. After all, it was only the first scout team, which was not large in scale. It ran into the main force of the Kumamoto domain and was directly wrapped in dumplings. Although the Japanese horses were short, they were still horses. , outflanking from the back, and charging in front of the spear warriors, this Qing army was about to be killed in sevens and eighties. Except for a dozen horses who ran out quickly, the rest all died here and their heads were cut off.

This team of cavalry can also be regarded as able to fight, killing more than [-] Japanese, but it is not uncommon to see Korean Japanese Japanese who can fight when they invaded the Kingdom of Korea. Thousands of Korean troops collapsed, and their heads were piled up in a pile. Hosokawa Mitsushang didn't care and continued to sit on his military bench and pretend to swing the Japanese sword.

"Tataka!"

Having just experienced a small battle, the blood-stimulated killing intent of the overheated Japanese just came to the right place. The low Korean town wall did not play any role at all. They stood on the wall with dung forks and sticks and hoes. The townspeople who resisted were cut down by the Japanese who climbed up like monkeys with Japanese knives. North Korea is known as a small China, and it is indeed the same as Ming Dynasty. The landlord of the Western Party in the town ran away early and opened a village. Yuyue Town in the wall once again fell into a hell on earth.

But at this time, when the grinning Japanese army was about to rush into the village to burn, kill and loot, the ground suddenly started to shake, the pebbles on the ground were buzzing, and the rice vat seemed to be able to dance In that way, just as Mitsushang Hosokawa entered the town, a can of dung wine pickled by the townspeople suddenly hit him heavily at his feet, and he drew his knife in shock, shouting sharply.

"What's going on! Where's the ninja, go check it out!"

However, there is no need for ninja scouts composed of civilians and hooligans. Amidst the screaming sound, black raindrops dripped down from the northeast, and the Japanese army, who was still standing on the top of the low town wall and looking around, was immediately thrown into the pot like dumplings. The shot fell and fell to the ground screaming.

"It's the local barbarians of Liaodong!"

At this time, the Japanese army had already roared, and the sound of the horse's hooves was getting louder and louder. In the midst of the chaos, Hosokawa Mitsushang shouted and ordered Zhu Fengxing to withdraw from the town and regroup the army on the west hillside.

At this time, there were already thousands of Eight Banners cavalry galloping around the town, and the scattered Japanese army just fell into the range of the cavalry, and the Mongolian light cavalry equipped with bows hovered around like mosquitoes, one after another The Arrow Rain grassland shot the rabbits and threw the Japanese people to the ground in pieces.

After paying a total of 300 people's damage, Hosokawa Mitsushang just lined up the terrified Kumamoto army on the west mountain in front of Yuyue Town. Although the Japanese are wretched and easy to kill, the military quality left over from years of cannibalism is not bad. Not bad, holding a big Japanese gun that is taller than him, the gun samurai is 75 degrees upward, forming an army formation. In the front, Ashigaru also hurriedly nailed the fence made of wood and bamboo in the Japanese war drama to the ground. Pao-Ashigaru put iron cannons on the holes in the gaps between the fences, squinted their eyes and aimed at the bottom of the hillside, and at the same time, the samurai in the rear team also rounded their Japanese bows.

In the rush outside the town just now, the Eight Banners really took advantage. Seeing this, the Mongolian leader Langri Zhatu waved the flag high without fear. Following the shouts, more than 3000 Mongolian cavalry once again pumped their horses Holding the riding bow and roaring, he charged forward.

This is a tactic inherited from Genghis Khan by the Mongols. They used cavalry archers to attack and harass repeatedly. Once the infantry formation of the farming peoples showed weakness and looseness, they dispatched heavy cavalry to smash the enemy's formation one by one.

It's a pity that this tactic was a few centuries ago. The heavy armored infantry who fought against the Song Dynasty and the Western canned cavalry were almost the same. The Japanese army also opened fire unceremoniously. The Kumamoto domain has more than 3000 iron cannons. The Japanese country also has a unique shooting method of fishing for bottles. Kneel on the ground.

After finally rushing to the front of the Japanese army, the two sides fired arrows at each other, and the Mongolian cavalry did not take advantage. The arches of the Japanese warriors were more than two meters long, but the range was only three to forty meters, but the lethality was amazing. An arrow is enough to shoot through a person. Qi Jiguang once commented that when he was fighting against the Japanese in the southeast, he said that with a long bow and a huge arrow, he can shoot close to people!

However, the range of riding a bow is not far. After all, it is really difficult to shoot on a bumpy horseback. The Mongolian cavalry did not take advantage of the shooting. Two or 300 people were killed and injured, and they retreated in embarrassment.

The two armies were at a stalemate in front of Yuyue Town for a while, facing each other 300 meters apart under the eager gaze of the townspeople on the town wall.

But after a stalemate for less than half an hour, when Hosokawa Mitsushang was anxiously calling for friends, the balance was broken.

In the Wanli Korean War, the victory of the Ming army was achieved by cannons and cavalry. In terms of firearms, the three-eyed firearms of the Liaodong Army at that time were not the opponents of the Japanese iron cannons, but the dense tiger crouching cannons, which were bombarded by the generals. , even the Japanese could not resist. At this time, Jiannu still had the more advanced Hongyi cannon than at that time.

With the push and pull of the Han army flag, more than a dozen red cannons of four to five thousand catties were placed in front of Yuyue Town, which had already caused the Japanese army on the opposite side of the mountain to panic. Tong Yangzheng gave an order, and the cannons were fired in unison, and the heavy iron balls shot immediately. Roll up in the Kumamoto army.

It is also emotional to say that 200 years later in the history of the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 200-[-], the Qing army lost Pyongyang under the artillery fire of the Japanese army, retreated thousands of miles and ran back to Lushunkou, but now it is [-] years earlier, but it is the Qing army. The Japanese army's artillery hit the Japanese crying for their father and mother, and the artillery shells weighing a few catties fell into the Japanese army's formation, which was a splash of blood. As for the things placed in front of the formation, they were like paper.

The one after another bombardment continued to stir up gunpowder smoke over the Kumamoto Army. During the fourth round of shelling, Hosokawa Mitsushang finally couldn't hold on. Azige unceremoniously ordered to chase and kill, already depressed for a long time, the heavy cavalry full of Eight Banners who were sharpening their knives raised their whips and jumped on their horses, and rushed out roaring, while the Meng Eight Banners who were also full of anger also covered and killed them on both sides, the battlefield The rhythm of building slaves and entering customs to defeat the Ming army has entered again.

After losing two to 3000 people, the Kumamoto Domain was considered to have escaped.

However, there was a layer of Japanese corpses piled up on the ground, and the Korean townspeople in Yuyue Town were not happy. They entered the town one after another and confiscated them from house to house. Many young women were taken to the camp and stuffed into several yurts. Amidst the screams of those women, the Mongolian cavalrymen smiled evilly and pulled out their belts and followed them.

On the other side, people full of Eight Banners are greedy and dissatisfied, dividing up the looted money.

As for the locals, they can only bear with it. Why, the Qing Dynasty came to fight for you barbarians, so if you grab some, you will be respected!

However, it didn’t take long to get ready. At about four o’clock in the afternoon, suddenly the loud bugle sounded again, and with their pants up, the Eight Banners of Han, who had finally been ranked in the queue, gathered into an army formation again with a muttering in their stomachs. The Mongolian cavalry climbed onto their horses with trembling calves.

Just now from the escaped landlord of the Western People's Party, Azig learned the shocking news that Wang Jing has not yet fallen!

The entire Korean peninsula is mountainous in the north and relatively gentle in the south. The reason why Wangjing is the capital of the Korean kingdom is because it is stuck in the most dangerous Nanshan Mountain in the lower reaches of the Han River, curbing the traffic arteries leading to the south of the peninsula.

Although Azige is reckless, he is an old general who has fought battles after all. After a bloody battle with the Japanese army in the Chiguan, it was considered a disadvantage, forcing Song Yingchang, Minister of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty, to resort to negotiations to make peace.

But if Wang Jing is to be defended, the Japanese troops that have broken into the Han River are just moving targets!
Regardless of the exhaustion of marching for several days, Azig even left the cannons in the rear, and led the [-] main cavalry to go straight to Wang Jing.

This was indeed sudden enough. Kumamoto was defeated too quickly. The Kaga, Mutsu, and Bizen tens of thousands of Japanese troops fled after being beaten by the raid cavalry. Tens of thousands of Japanese troops retreated. They hit the city of Wangjing.

"This king is the prince of the Qing Dynasty and Shuoying. He was ordered by the regent to support North Korea. You wait for the little king of the next country to open the city quickly and win my army to enter!"

Riding proudly on his horse, Azig yelled arrogantly towards the city gate, and the tired and sleepy cavalry below followed suit. For a while, there was a constant din in the city of Wangjing, and the fire on the top of the city was suddenly heard. Suddenly, suddenly, at this moment, dozens of rockets were thrown from the top of the city and landed in the crowd. Before Azig got angry, gunshots like fried beans had already rang out from the top of the city. The Jiannu below were caught off guard and rolled over one after another.

In the flames, a black flag with Ming characters swaggered in the eyes of Azig and other cavalrymen.

"Damn it, how dare you lie to me, withdraw the army!"

No matter how strong Jiannu is, it would be extremely risky for a lone army to go deep into the 30 Japanese army. It was almost dismounted by the musketeer at the top of the city with a single shot. go.

On the top of the city, seeing the Qing army retreating in embarrassment, Zheng Sen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Who would have thought that Jiannu would come so fast? The officials recognized the Ming army, and they no longer had the courage to resist, Kaesong surrendered, and they really fell into a passive position.

But now?Holding his arms, Zheng Sen sneered again from the corner of his mouth.

Come, don't even think about leaving!
