Chapter 220 Bloody Battle at the Bishou Museum (2)

On the 24th, Li Rusong received the battle report from Zha Dashou, saying that he had won more than [-] Japanese ranks.Li Rusong was overjoyed when he heard the words, and after listening to the local Korean natives, he judged that the Japanese army might abandon the capital and retreat, so he wanted to lead more than [-] cavalry from Kaesong to recruit reinforcements.

After Huang Laifu heard the news, he was taken aback. Of course he knew about the famous Battle of the Blue Foot Hall in history.However, he didn't explain the specific situation of the Battle of Bishou Hall in Wuzhaibao's laptop at that time, he only knew that it was very tragic.

In this battle, neither the Japanese side nor Li Rusong's side had a winner, but Li Rusong's 5000 men fought against the Japanese army's more than 4 elite troops, and in the end he killed the Japanese side in large numbers, so it should be considered a victory.

However, in history, Li Rusong lost all his elite servants, which had a certain impact on his future as Liaodong General Army.This is what Huang Laifu does not want to see.

Moreover, Huang Laifu believed that after the Battle of Bicheguan, the first Korean War was basically over, and he would not have any chance to fight in the future.I am in North Korea, so it would be a pity if I didn't participate in the famous Battle of Pyokjekwan in history.Moreover, although Huang Laifu was somewhat shadowy about siege battles, he was never afraid of field battles. This was an opportunity to perform meritorious deeds, so he immediately asked Li Rusong to go with him.

Li Rusong agreed after thinking about it for a while.The Wuzhaibao army had been idle for a long time, and everyone was overjoyed when they heard the news of the battle.Especially Yang Xiaolu, who followed Huang Laifu, just smiling happily.

Historically, Li Rusong only brought 2000 troops.Now, there are 3000 more people from Huang Laifu.And in foot combat, in terms of sharpness, they are stronger than Li Rusong's servants.Presumably, the battle of the Bishouguan was a bit more certain. Of course, only Huang Laifu knew this well.

Everyone quickly moved towards Wang Jing.This trip was all cavalry. Although Huang Laifu led infantry on horseback, everyone was on horseback, so the troop marched very fast.

Soon, when the troops arrived at the Mashan Pavilion, Li Rusong suddenly pulled the reins.Long-term battlefield experience made him feel that the movement of the Japanese army seemed not so simple. He said to Huang Laifu and Yang Yuan beside him: "This admiral will lead 1000 people first, Huang Laifu and Yang Yuan, you two will lead the army to follow up."

Huang Laifu was taken aback. If this was the case, his calculations would all be in vain. He said anxiously: "The admiral is in the safety of all the troops, how can he go lightly? Let the last general go with the admiral!"

Li Rusong looked at Huang Laifu's anxious look, he couldn't pretend to be that way, he was secretly moved by Huang Laifu's loyalty, and General Yu also privately thought of Huang Laifu's love for Li Rusong.Brothers Li Rubai and Li Rumei also looked at each other and nodded secretly.

Li Rusong nodded and said: "So, General Huang will go with this admiral!"

Huang Laifu happily agreed.

After the division of troops, Li Rusong, Huang Laifu and others continued to lead the army forward. In the afternoon, when they passed Lishiling, they were not far from Bichi Pavilion.At this moment, Tan Ma reported that it was a big battle ahead, and the Ming army was surrounded by the Japanese army, and the battle was extremely tragic.

Everyone was taken aback, Huang Laifu's heart beat violently, the historical Battle of Bishou Hall really happened.

Li Rusong asked Tan Ma carefully, and then said: "Our troops are surrounded, we must save them! General Huang, follow me to kill the enemy."

Huang Laifu knew that in history, the site of Bi Tie Guan was a place of death, surrounded by tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers, but he was not afraid, and said loudly: "Yes, Lord Admiral!"
The two men led the army and charged into the site of Bichi Pavilion. When the Japanese army saw most of the Ming army coming, the sound of Mingjin withdrawing troops was heard from the mountain, and the Japanese army that besieged Zha Dashou's department immediately dispersed like a tide.

Zha Dashou and other generals were overjoyed when they saw the reinforcements coming. After a day and night of hard fighting, they killed and wounded more than 2000 Japanese soldiers.However, at this time, there were only less than 2000 Ming troops left in his department, and the casualties had already exceeded [-].And everyone is injured, if the reinforcements don't come, they will collapse.

Huang Laifu and others saw that the blood flowed into rivers on the battlefield, which had been frozen into ice cubes by the cold weather. There were stumps everywhere, broken military flags and weapons everywhere, and the stench of Japanese corpses scorched by artillery rockets came from time to time.

Everyone couldn't help but secretly startled: "What a cruel battlefield!"

Zha Dashou and Zu Chengxun came in front of Li Rusong, both of them lost their composure for the rest of their lives, Zu Chengxun cried: "Thank you admiral for leading the army to help, even if the end general is broken to pieces, it will be difficult to repay the admiral's kindness!"

During the one-day and one-night battle, Zu Chengxun's mood experienced another change. In July, he failed in the battle against the DPRK, and after returning to the country, he tried his best to exaggerate the horror of the Japanese army.After the Battle of Pyongyang, he was dismissive of the Japanese military's combat power.However, during this day and night of fighting, the madness of the Japanese army and the menacing attire of the devil caused a shadow in his heart. If the reinforcements did not come, he would indeed collapse.

At this time, he escaped after death, no wonder he lost his composure.

Seeing his appearance, Li Rusong frowned secretly, but since Zu Chengxun had indeed experienced a hard battle, he was inevitably excited, so he will not be mentioned.Although Zha Dashou and Li Ning were also happy, they remained calm.

Zha Dashou roughly reported the battle to Li Rusong, but Li Rusong already understood before he finished speaking, he waved his hand to stop Zha Dashou's words, and said with a sneer: "It seems that the Japanese are trying to lure me to come here , good to ambush here!"

From his point of view, it is natural to see at a glance that the current environment around him is a deadly place in the art of war, but he has been in battle for a long time, and the most common thing he does is to put the deadly place to survive, and he doesn't worry too much.

Sure enough, the Japanese troops on all sides had gradually formed formations, and there were more reports of horse detection. Most of the Japanese troops had already occupied Wangkeyan on the north side of Lishiling, blocking the retreat of the Ming army.The intention of the Japanese army is very obvious.

Of course, Huang Laifu's understanding of the art of war was far inferior to Li Rusong's. He saw that the terrain of the Bitu Pavilion was narrow and surrounded by mountains. As long as some intersections were guarded, the army's retreat could be blocked.There are some flat and muddy areas in the middle of the Bishou Pavilion, which is really not conducive to the actions of the Ming cavalry.This is not good for the Ming army, but it is good for the Japanese army.

Huang Laifu thought to himself: "This place is indeed a dead place as the history says!"

But he wasn't flustered, he was just excited, and seeing the expressions of his subordinates, it was the same for all of them.

Huang Laifu said to Li Rusong: "Master Admiral, this is the case, our army must defend as soon as possible!"

Zha Dashou saw that Li Rusong led the army to help, but it caused him so much, he felt guilty, and was about to say something, Li Rusong waved: "Don't say more, prepare to fight!"

※※※

Li Rusong was indeed from a family of generals, and he could tell at a glance that the current terrain was not conducive to defense, and there were enemies on all sides.Now he led Li Rumei to lead an army of thousands of people, and first captured Huiyin Ridge in the north.After occupying this place, first defend and then find a way.

Because Huiyin Ridge is not an exit route, there are not many Japanese troops here, only a few hundred people, and the generals of Tachibana Zongshige's troops guarding the area last ten hours.Under the mad attack led by Li Rumei, he was caught off guard for a long time at ten o'clock and defended the Japanese army, all of them died.

After occupying Huiyin Ridge, Li Rusong immediately gathered 3000 people from Huanglaifu's troops and 1000 members of his own servants according to the terrain of Huiyin Ridge, and added ammunition and weapons for 2000 remnants of Zhada Shou's troops to accompany them in defense.All the armies launched the Crane Wing Formation together.

According to legend, the crane wing formation is one of Zhuge Liang's eight formations, the foundation of ten thousand formations, and one of the most commonly used formations in China for a long time. After it was introduced to Japan in the Tang Dynasty, it was used by the Japanese Uesugi and Takeda.After careful research, continuous development and utilization, combined with Japanese combat methods, they developed into the main combat formations from the Sengoku period to the Edo period in Japan.

But at this time, no matter it is Ming Dynasty or Japan, the Crane Wing Formation is widely used.The main feature of this formation is that the wings of the crane are very wide after being spread out, which expands the enemy's receiving area and causes widespread damage.This formation has a wide attack area, so that the own army can use multiple attack areas to attack one point of the enemy, thereby devouring the entire army of the enemy.

According to Li Rusong's arrangement, the Crane Wing Formation is divided into several formations.

First of all, in front of the Ming army, many Frang machine artillery chariots were arranged.The gunners were mainly from Zha Dashou's department. They were able to fight again because they supplemented the guns brought by Li Rusong.Since Li Rusong didn't bring many gunners with him when he came, the gunners of Zha Dashou's department were tired, but they still insisted on fighting even though they were dying.

Behind the chariot, Huang Laifu's 500 gunners arranged most of them in front.In addition, there are some archers from Huang Laifu's department.The gunner and the archer were in front, and the gunner was in front of the archer.The two are mainly used to attack the opponent remotely.

And the musketeers and archers are spread out and staggered left and right, which is to cover each other.The reason for this is that the musketeer takes a long time to reload and is not as fast as the archer, but it has a long range and strong attack power, so it is placed in front.Archers shoot fast, but the range is not far, and the attack power is not strong, so they can only be used as cover work.While the gunners were reloading, the archers stepped forward to attack.After the musketeer finishes loading, the archer retreats to the rear, and the musketeer attacks again.

In this way, a continuous firepower is formed.

This is the first formation of the Crane Wing Formation, and behind the first formation, there are also some gunners arranged as preparations.

At the end of the first formation, there were also cold weapon sabers and gunmen from Huang Laifu's department, which were used as short soldiers.When the long-range attack has caused a lethal effect, use the short-handed troops to attack, and at the same time prevent the opponent from attacking the gunner.

Huang Laifu commanded in the first formation.

In the second formation, Li Rusong deployed a thousand-man cavalry unit here as the main elite assault force.Mainly Li Rusong's cavalry, and some cavalry from Zha Dashou's department who still have strong combat capabilities, led by Li Rubai and Zha Dashhou.They are set up in a semicircle, with the semicircle facing outwards, so that they can not only engage in frontal combat at any time, but also fight on the two wings.At the same time, the third formation and the central army were protected.Moreover, if the semicircle is pulled into a straight line, it will be a longer attack surface, which can annihilate more enemies.

In Li Rusong's arrangement, if Huang Laifu succeeded in killing the enemy in the first formation, his cavalry in the second formation would follow up and deal a severe blow to the Japanese army.If the first line fails, the back line can also be protected.

At the same time, some flag bearers were arranged on the left and right sides of the second formation, and they were held high after the first formation, giving the Japanese a sense of deterrence, and also keeping the morale of the second and third formations behind them high.

The third formation is the Chinese Army.Here is the location of the main general Li Rusong, and also the location of the general flag.This is the core of the entire army, but because most of the troops are deployed to the first and second formations, the left and right defenses of this formation are relatively weak.

In order to prevent the Japanese army from attacking from the sides and wings, Li Rusong arranged some floating troops behind the sides of the Chinese army.At the same time, at the end of the formation, the same Wuzhai Fort gunners were arranged as in the first formation.

……

When Li Rusong was making arrangements, the generals of the Japanese army in the Bitu pavilion also watched the movements of the Ming army intently.

President Xiaoxi smiled and said: "Look at the banner, it turns out that the people who came to help are Li Rusong, the admiral of the Tang Dynasty, and Huang Laifu, the titan of the Tang Dynasty!"

In the Battle of Pyongyang, the powerful gunners of the Wuzhaibao army left a deep impression on Konishi, so from then on, Konishi paid attention to Huang Laifu.

Kobayakawa Longjing smiled and said: "Very good, this time I caught a big fish, and I just caught them all in one go!"

Although the previous 3000 Japanese troops attacked the 2 Ming army of Zha Dashou, they were still unable to attack for a long time. The tenacious combat effectiveness of the Ming army also made all Japanese generals terrified.But right now, Ukita Hideka, the head of the Eighth Army and governor of Wang Jing, has arrived with 4 people, and his confidence has risen.With [-] of them, against thousands of Ming troops, no matter how big the loss is, if they can kill Li Rusong, it will be worth it.

Yukita Hideka also smiled and said: "Very good, Mr. Long Jing, I will leave everything here to Your Excellency!"

Although the Ukita Hide family has a higher official position than Hayakawa Takakage, but Kobayakawa Takakage has commanded here for a day and a night, and is familiar with the battlefield situation, so the Ukita Hide family generously handed over the command of the battlefield to him.

At the same time, Ukita Hideka also said to President Xiaoxi: "Xiaoxi-kun, it seems that your strategy has succeeded. If you can kill the admiral of the Tang Dynasty, you will have a great contribution!"

President Konishi just paid a slight salute to Ukita Hideo's family, and then focused on the movements of the Ming army over there.

While the Ming army was busy making arrangements, the Japanese were not idle. Soon, under the supervision of the generals of the Japanese army, the surrounded Japanese troops formed a square formation.The samurai team, iron cannon light feet, long spear light feet, bow and arrow group foot light feet, etc., were densely packed one by one.

It is said that there are more than [-] people, and there are no boundaries. The [-] Japanese army slowly spread out, with banners like clouds, and slowly pushed towards the Ming army on the mountain.

Seeing the situation in front of him, Huang Laifu's blood boiled, and Yang Xiaolu, who was next to him, kept rubbing his hands, his face turned iron red with excitement.

Seen from the mountain, the Japanese army was densely packed like ants, but everyone was short in stature. Huang Laifu sighed. When he saw the Mongols before, he thought they were short enough, but he did not expect the Japanese to be even shorter.

However, they should not be underestimated. Although these Japanese are much shorter than the Mongols, in terms of combat effectiveness, they are several times higher than them. You should not underestimate the enemy!

Suddenly, the sound of war drums came from the other side of the mountain. Immediately, the Japanese troops at the bottom of the mountain rushed towards the Ming army on the mountain, screaming like they had taken stimulants.

The second wave of the Battle of the Blue Hoof Hall finally started again.

In this battle, both sides have invested their most elite troops.

Among the participating troops of the Ming army: there were 2000 troops from Zha Dashouyu's department, 3000 from Huang Laifu's department, and 1000 from Li Rusong's department, a total of 6000 people.The coach of the Ming army is Li Rusong.The deputy generals are: Huang Laifu, Li Rubai, Li Rumei, Zu Chengxun, Zha Dashou, Yang Yuan and others.Except for Huang Laifu's more than 3000 people who were mounted infantry, most of the rest were cavalry.

The participating troops of the Japanese army included: a part of the Japanese Third Army, a part of the Fourth Army, all of the Sixth Army, and most of the Ninth Army, totaling more than [-] people.The Japanese commanders included Konishi Yukachi, Kuroda Nagamasa, Kobayakawa Takakage, Hashiba Hidekatsu, Tachibana Muneshige and others.The lieutenants include: Kato Koyasu, Kuno Shigekatsu, Kohe Nobuaki, Goto Keiji, Ono Kazumi, Ono Naruyuki, Ikebe Nagashi, Ogawa Chengshige, Ando Yukisada and others.

The war has begun, who will win the battle?
