Go back to the Ming Dynasty to be a thousand households

Chapter 221 The result of the Battle of Bishou Hall
The Japanese army rushed up the mountain aggressively.

During the Japanese attack, the frontal assault by the Japanese army of more than [-] people from Takakage Kobayakawa was divided into several waves of shock troops.On both sides of the Ming army, due to the rugged mountains, it is not conducive to attacking, so how to attack the Ming army's positions from both sides is still being studied by the Japanese army.

Facing a strong enemy, Li Rusong drew out his long sword and sternly shouted: "The whole army fights to the death! Anyone who is afraid of the front, beheaded!"

The Japanese army has been getting closer and closer, directly opposite the Ming army, the terrain here is the most open, and the main battle here is Huang Laifu's Wuzhaibao army.In the face of the Japanese army's aggressive approach, Huang Laifu has always been very calm.

When the frontal Japanese army rushed within two hundred paces, Huang Laifu gave an order.Immediately, the dozens of French machine guns in front of him opened fire, and the Japanese soldiers were dizzy and suffered heavy casualties.

It was so easy to wait for the Japanese troops to continue to charge forward. At eighty paces, the gunners of Wuzhai Fort behind the Frangji artillery opened fire again, causing the Japanese soldiers to scream and scream.

After three rounds of musket fire, the Japanese army barely rushed to fifty paces.At this time, the Wuzhai Fort gunners retreated, and the archers stepped forward again, and another wave of arrows rained down the Japanese army in front of them like hedgehogs.

After three waves of arrow rain, the gunners stepped forward again... In this way, the two alternated and covered each other, forming a continuous firepower.The Japanese troops have been unable to rush into the front twenty steps of the Wuzhai Fort formation.The corpses left by the Japanese army slowly piled up higher and higher in front of the Wuzhaibao army.

Knowing about this battle in history, Huang Laifu brought enough arrows and ammunition for this visit, enough for a few days.As long as there are only arrows and ammunition, the Japanese army will never get close to the Wuzhaibao army.

Huang Laifu also suggested that Li Rusong should bring more guns, which were used on the Franco cannons in front of the formation. As long as the Japanese army assembled and tried to suppress Huang Laifu's firepower with bows, arrows and iron cannons, Huang Laifu would bombard them with artillery, smashing their guns. formation.They charged with skirmishers and bombarded them with cannon fire.

The Japanese army rushed again and again, causing heavy casualties, but they couldn't even touch the armor of the Wuzhaibao soldiers.And because of the gunners on the front line, the archers could keep the Japanese army in front of the formation, and the Huang Laifu short-armed troops at the back of the first formation could not be used, which made them feel itchy.

The frontal Wuzhai Fort position was impregnable, and the Japanese army was terribly beaten with sharp firecrackers and bows.Li Rubai, Li Rumei, Zu Chengxun, Zha Dashou, Yang Yuan and others in the second formation were all stunned when they saw it. The Wuzhaibao army's firearms and the quality of the sergeants are really not just talking casually.Li Rusong, who was in the middle army, could see clearly and nodded secretly.

On the Japanese side, Yukiko Konishi, Takakage Kobayakawa and others who were commanding in front of the battle looked very solemn.Everyone knew that the attack on the Ming army's position would be a tough battle, but they didn't expect it to be so difficult.In the front direction of the Ming army, our side charged again and again, sometimes more, and our generals suffered heavy losses. Thousands of people were killed or injured, but this was the result.

Kobayakawa Longjing even gritted his teeth secretly: "Huang Laifu!"

This time the main attack was his army, with so many casualties, no wonder Takakage Kobayakawa hated him.

President Xiaoxi suddenly shouted: "Look!"

The generals of the Japanese army hurriedly looked at it. After the Japanese army failed to charge again, the armored cavalry of thousands of people rushed out from the second formation of the Ming army. Following Li Rusong's order, he led his cavalry to attack the remnants of the enemy.

Thousands of iron hooves rolled, and the ground trembled slightly.In addition, they rushed out from the mountain, condescending, and brought up countless mud and smoke, and their momentum was even more astonishing.The Japanese army attacking Huang Laifu's position head-on was already retreating, and they were already dejected. Seeing the power of the cavalry of the Ming army, they were frightened out of their wits, and many fled with their heads in their arms.

The Ming army cavalry who charged, the first row of the front row had already lit the matchlocks of the three-eyed guns in their hands. When they rushed to the front of the Japanese army, they were bombarded with three-eyed guns first.After the three shots were fired, in the smoke, the Japanese soldiers were killed and injured on the spot.After shooting the three-eyed blunderbuss, these Ming army cavalry raised the three-eyed blunderbuss high again, used them as maces, rushed into the Japanese army, and smashed them with the three-eyed blunderbuss.

If you are hit by the head of a heavy three-barreled gun made of iron, you will lose half your life if you don't die.

Rows of cavalrymen of the Ming army rushed into the retreating Japanese army, and they did the same thing, rushing into the crowd and killing them wantonly, causing the Japanese army to cry even more.In addition to the Japanese soldiers who were beaten to death by the three-eyed blunderbuss, there were also countless Japanese soldiers who were knocked over and trampled to death by Ming army horses.

These thousands of Ming army cavalry even rushed to the front of the Japanese brigade at the foot of the mountain. Seeing the Ming army rolling in, the Japanese generals at the foot of the mountain were frightened and ordered the archers and iron gunners to shoot.

Most of the bows of the Japanese army were bamboo bows, and the arrows they shot were not powerful. The cavalry of the Ming army were all wearing iron armor.

It's just that the iron gunners of the Japanese army were quite powerful. Under their shooting, some Ming army cavalry fell off their horses. Seeing that they couldn't get any bargain, Li Rubai and Zha Dashhou led the rest of the cavalry back to the mountain.In this sudden attack, the two killed and wounded hundreds of Japanese soldiers, and their own side suffered more than ten casualties. It was a big victory.

※※※

The cavalry attack of the Ming army dealt a huge blow to Takakage Kobayakawa, Yukiko Konishi and others.Although the terrain is unfavorable for attacking from both sides of the Ming army's position, it is in order to contain the Ming army and to make a better breakthrough.

After a while of discussion, Kobayakawa ordered the Japanese general Tachibana Soshige to lead thousands of Japanese troops to attack the right wing of the Ming army.Japanese generals Mori Motoyasu, Kobayakawa Hidebao and others led thousands of troops to attack the left wing of the Ming army.Kobayakawa Takakage's department continued to attack from the front.

As a result, the battle became more and more intense.

Huang Laifu's frontal position was still as solid as a rock, but the Japanese army kept approaching from both sides.Li Rubai and Cha Dashou led the army to attack several times. During the wave battle, Japanese generals Anton Changjiu and Anton Xingzhen were killed by Cha Dashou and Li Rubai.However, the Japanese army came in waves.

Seeing that the Japanese army was attacking urgently on both sides, and had already pressed Huang Laifu's frontal formation, Li Rusong pulled out his saber from his waist, raised it high, and sternly shouted: "All soldiers, attack with me!"

Beside Li Rusong at this time were Li Rumei, guerrilla general Li Youyi, assistant general Li Yousheng, Zu Chengxun, Li Ning, Zhang Shijue and others.There are nearly a thousand of the most elite cavalry of the Ming army.Hearing what Li Rusong said, all the officers and men obeyed their orders, mounted their horses and followed Li Rusong to the Zuoyi Mountain to kill.

More than a thousand cavalry rushed down, the sound of iron hooves made the earth tremble!

Facing each other was Japanese generals Motoyasu Moori and Hideo Kobayakawa with thousands of soldiers. Seeing the cavalry of the Ming army approaching, they were all terrified.The Japanese army's bamboo spears were at the front. With a loud shout, they raised their densely packed bamboo spears, pointing their sharp spear points at the rolling Ming cavalry.As long as they dare to bump into them, they will be stabbed into holes with their horses and men.

However, the Ming army cavalry led by Li Rusong were not as they imagined. When they were about thirty steps away from the Japanese army, the Ming army cavalry in the front row raised their three-eyed guns and aimed at the Japanese phalanx. A burst of shooting.

"Crack, crack, crack!" Amid the sound of the three-eyed gun, the Japanese soldiers screamed and fell down.

This row of Ming troops pulled their horses past the Japanese formation.

The second platoon of Ming soldiers charged again, the three-eyed guns fired again, and the Japanese soldiers fell down again screaming.Then the Ming army passed by the Japanese army again.

With so many rows of Ming troops rushing past the Japanese army, in the smoke of gunpowder, there were very few Japanese spears in the front.Since the Japanese army did not have the habit of equipped with shields, the firecrackers that attacked the Ming army's iron cavalry could only stand and be beaten.The bows and arrows shot by the Japanese archers in the back row had little effect on the armored Ming cavalry.

Due to the heavy casualties of the spears in the front line of the Japanese army, there are very few left.At this time, the cavalry in the back row of the Ming army rushed in. They raised their three-eyed guns and bombarded the Japanese army in the gap.After the three tubes passed, the Japanese casualties at the gap were even more severe, and their formation was already in danger of collapsing.

After the three-eyed guns were shot, these Ming army cavalry also raised the three-eyed guns and used them as maces. With the help of horsepower, they rushed into the Japanese army and smashed left and right.At the same time, the cavalry of the Ming army in the front row also pulled their horses back and joined the target of the attack.

As a result, thousands of Japanese generals Mori Motoyasu and Kobayakawa Hidebo, who attacked from the left, collapsed. They all threw down their weapons and ran away crying.Along the way, in addition to being beaten to death by the Ming army, there were also many people who trampled to death along the way.General Mao Li Yuankang died in the chaos for several days.

After repelling the attack of the left-wing Japanese army, Li Rusong did not give up, leading the cavalry under his command to charge left and right down the mountain, as if entering a land without people.Seeing Li Rusong like this, Kuroda Nagamasa, Kobayakawa Takakage, Ukita Hideke, Konishi Yukyochi and others were both angry and happy.

What was angry was that Li Rusong regarded them as nothing, but what was happy was that Li Rusong didn't stay in the position of the central army, and rushed to kill them himself, just in time to surround and attack him.At present, the Japanese army at the foot of the mountain in Bichiguan, under the command of the Japanese army's central banner in Bichiguan, concentrated their forces and slowly encircled Li Rusong.

But Li Rusong was Li Rusong, even though he was surrounded by the Japanese army, he still led some servants to attack left and right, unstoppable.But at this moment, a Japanese general in Tachibana's army, wearing gold armor, Ye Chengxing, led more than a hundred warriors around him, and rushed towards Li Rusong viciously.

At this time, Li Rusong was surrounded by dozens of family members, most of them had been dispersed by the Japanese army, and the situation was critical.Li Rumei, Li Ning and others not far away from Li Rusong saw that Li Rusong was in a critical situation, so they desperately approached Li Rusong.

But the Japanese army seized this opportunity, how could they give up?Immediately, countless Japanese troops surged in and entangled them tightly.After Li Yousheng killed the Japanese general Ogawa Chengjuge, he slapped his horse and stepped forward to protect the master. During the scuffle, he was knocked off his horse, and the Japanese warriors swarmed him and chopped him into several pieces.

At this moment, Li Rumei shot an arrow in Ling Ye Chengxing's face, and Ling Ye Chengxing fell off his horse. The rest of the Japanese warriors were shocked and scattered, and Li Rusong saved the day.

At this time, Li Rumei, Zu Chengxun and others, how dare they let Li Rusong kill left and right at the foot of the mountain?Protecting Li Rusong, he returned to his position on the mountain.The Japanese army and the Ming army returned to the situation before the offensive and defensive.

Seeing that things fell short, President Xiaoxi and the others sighed.

※※※

After that, the two sides fell into a bitter battle of offense and defense, and the sound of killing and gunfire was earth-shattering.

The two sides fought from noon to dusk, and the parties were still fighting to the death.Down the mountain, there are corpses of the Ming army and the Japanese army everywhere. It can be said that they are piled up like a mountain, and blood flows like a river.Because the war is too cruel.Tachibana Soshige, the Japanese titan, took the initiative to find Kobayakawa Takakage to take his place, and withdrew from the battlefield.

On the Japanese side, not only the soldiers suffered thousands of casualties, but even the Japanese generals also lost more than a dozen soldiers.In this attack, the Japanese army was greatly hurt.

On the side of the Ming army, most of the casualties were the soldiers of the Ming army guarding the two sides. Although Huang Laifu's Wuzhaibao army was guarding the frontmost frontal position, the artillery and blunderbuss of his army were too sharp.The Japanese attacking troops have been unable to attack his formation, and his subordinates only suffered casualties from some cold-weapon troops attacking with short-handed soldiers.

Perhaps Huang Laifu's greatest loss was the firecrackers of his subordinates.Because the firecrackers in their hands were used too frequently, they didn’t know how many firecrackers they fired in one afternoon, and the barrels of the firecrackers were about to be scrapped. Maybe they had to replace the firecrackers collectively after they went back. This was a huge expense.

At dusk, I heard the sound of killing at the foot of the mountain. It turned out that Yang Yuan, the deputy commander, finally arrived with his troops and launched a fierce attack from the Japanese flank.After a day and night of fierce fighting, the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties, and it was at the end of its force. They mistakenly believed that the main force of the Ming army came to help.

When the Japanese army fled, Huang Laifu regained his energy, and immediately asked Li Rusong for orders, and led his troops to pursue the Japanese army fleeing the enemy.At this time, Li Rusong and others were powerless to pursue, so Huang Laifu led more than 3000 people from his headquarters to pursue the Japanese army.

Huang Laifu chased Wang Jingxia all the way, then turned around and brought back more than 1000 Japanese heads.

By this time, the Battle of the Blue Hoof Hall was completely over.

After cleaning the battlefield, according to the final statistics, the total casualties of the Ming army were more than 1000 people in the two battles of Bituguan today and yesterday, mainly Chada Shoubu, with [-] casualties.The rest are Li Rusong, Huang Laifu and other ministries.Among them, Huang Laifu suffered dozens of casualties.Li Yousheng, the fallen general of the Ming army.

The Japanese army suffered nearly 1 casualties. In addition to ordinary soldiers, the Japanese generals killed in battle included: Ono Naruyuki, Shishi Renjiu, Ikebe Yongsheng, Anto Yuki, Ogawa Chengshige, Anto Changjiu, Kuno Shigekatsu, Yokoyama Keiyoshi , Katsura Gozaemon, Utsumi Oni nojo, Karamayahei, Teshima Wolfosuke, Yuasa Shinemon, Yoshida Tazaemon, Harama Gozaemon and more than ten people.

Fighting day and night, the Japanese army killed more than ten generals, which shows the brutality of the battle in Bichi Pavilion.

In history, the Japanese army suffered more than [-] casualties and the Ming army suffered more than [-] casualties in the Battle of Bichiguan.After Huang Laifu participated in the war, the number of casualties of the Ming army was reduced to more than [-], and the number of casualties of the Japanese army increased to nearly [-].In this way, the battle at Bichiguan was even more tragic, and the blows to the Japanese army were heavier, making them even more terrified.

After this battle, the powerful fighting power of the Ming army greatly shocked the Japanese army. Although the number of Japanese troops who finally reached Wangjing increased to 12, they kept shrinking from the Ming army with only more than 3 people. Not daring to fight, they have completely lost their confidence in field battles with the Ming army.
