Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1884

Faced with the situation where all three fronts were severely hit and frustrated, the Japanese army retreated one after another.However, all the generals of the Japanese army knew very well that they could not afford to lose the battle in front of them, and they had to find ways to overcome the difficulties in front of them.

However, in the face of objective reality, the Japanese army actually has no good way, but can only rely on determination and will.Then, Inoue's house and Nomura Yuzhi led the second division of the Kuroda Army's right side into battle.

Goto Keiji and Kuroda Kasunari returned to the main formation, Nomura Yuzhi showed an encouraging smile, and said: "You two have worked hard and gave us a chance to make meritorious deeds. If the firepower of our Ming army has been exhausted, then we should It is for the two of you to write down the first merit."

Kuroda Kazunari didn't understand the encouraging meaning in these words. Instead, he felt full of sarcasm and ridicule, and replied with a sullen face: "Nomura, don't be cynical here. In my opinion, the Ming army has enough ammunition to be almost unimaginable. I don't know how many troops there will be, I'm afraid you will have to retreat if you don't even see the appearance of the Ming army!
Even if you can rush to the front of the Ming army and come back alive... Huh, don't forget to tell the lord and us how many people there are in this Ming army. "

When Nomura Yu saw that he didn't appreciate it, his complexion darkened, and he said indifferently: "Then there is nothing to worry about, but when I come back, I must have brought the head of the enemy general to ask for credit, and His Highness's expression will be terrible at that time." Don't be ugly."

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Inoue nobo said dissatisfiedly: "Don't quarrel! You must be united in the battle, and you must not insult the name of the Kuroda family! We must go all out in every battle. If we can break the formation this time, This is our wish, but we must not be careless. If we fail to capture Lianhua Mountain, the Kuroda family will be ridiculed!"

Goto Keiji sighed: "His Royal Highness, the Ming army is strong. It is not a joke. Every step is extremely difficult for us. The firepower of this Ming army is continuous, and it may not even be as bright as the Ming army in the battle of Bijokan. The main force of the Liaodong Army's firepower is slightly weaker, which is really shocking.

I think it is very likely that the main force of the Ming army is in battle, so please be careful.I will also speak to the lord to see if another plan is needed.Finally, I also wish you prosperous martial arts and a great victory in this battle. "

After Inoue's house expressed his gratitude, he and Nomura Yuzhi led the second team of the right side to attack.

After entering the battle, the Second Division of the Right Reserve was not in a hurry to launch an attack, but faced off on the spot.Inoue Zhifang sent another half of the troops as a ranger, led by Nomura Yuzhi to make a side attack on sideways to find out the truth, and planned to distract the attention of the Ming army before attacking.

Nomura Yuzhi led the ranger to march, but after approaching, he was spotted by the lookout post of Ming general Yang Dengshan's department through the binoculars. Yang Dengshan immediately led [-] soldiers to turn to meet.When Nomura Yu saw that the march was exposed, he simply accelerated the march, and then a melee broke out between the two armies.

This time, because the Japanese army sneaked up after all, the Ming army only had time to fire two rounds of volleys before being approached and engaged in battle.It has to be said that although the Japanese army is generally short in stature, their melee combat capabilities are actually pretty good. Nomura Yuuno, an elite samurai who practiced martial arts since childhood, hacked and killed six or seven people in a row and met Yang Dengshan.

Fortunately, Yang Dengshan is not easy to get along with. He is also a master of the Nine Sides. He has practiced martial arts since he was a child and has participated in many battles in recent years. He is good in both martial arts and battle experience.

The two fought each other for more than ten rounds, but at this time, in terms of the overall strength of the two armies, the Ming army showed an advantage in equipment-this Xuan Daming army, as a high-level descendant of pragmatism, is, in the words of later generations, The armor rate reached 100%, which allowed the soldiers of the Ming army to defy many non-lethal attacks of the Japanese army, and soon gained the upper hand, and then launched a counterattack.

After being approached, the Ming army temporarily responded to the battle, and was able to launch a counterattack very quickly, which caught the Japanese army completely by surprise.Although the fighting time between the two sides was not long in fact, the Japanese army had already fought hard.Seeing this, Nomura Yuzhi knew that if he continued to fight, he would be completely defeated, so he retreated with hatred.

On the other side, Inoue's house heard that the Rangers had fought with the Ming army, and immediately ordered to attack the Ming army's position, and then the artillery continued to drop iron bullets on the Japanese army's formation.At this time, the Japanese army discovered that it would be better if the projectiles of the Ming army artillery did not bounce, but if those solid projectiles bounced, it would definitely bring a series of casualties.

Inouezhifang strictly ordered not to retreat, and desperately moved forward, but the firepower of the Ming army was too strong, and Inouezhifang was difficult to advance.The infantry of the two armies once again formed a tendency to shoot at each other, but under the suppression of the Ming army's artillery, it was difficult for the Japanese army's iron guns to effectively shoot and kill the "full armor rate" Ming army.

Although the Japanese army tried their best to avoid the artillery shells, they still suffered a lot of casualties. In addition, not only their armor rate was not as good as that of the Ming army, but even the quality of their armor was not comparable, which made the casualties even more serious.

This corresponds to one of the viewpoints that Gao Yushi has always insisted on: wars are fought with money, and if money is to be spent to have better results, it needs to be advanced in technology. Looking at it personally, he would think that it is not particularly large, because this Ming army originally dismounted cavalry to fight, and they were wearing cavalry armor.

In fact, this thing is not comparable to the armor specially made for infantry. Basically, it can only protect the upper body, and the thickness is also thinner than infantry armor because of the consideration of the horse's load.

However, compared with the Japanese army, such armor is already difficult to deal with-don't think that ordinary Japanese soldiers hold the so-called "Japanese swords" that many people in later generations boasted. Many people's weapons are actually nothing more than The iron-headed bamboo spear is a thing of this grade.

One more thing, many Guangxi wolf soldiers who had just joined Gao Yushi in the early years had also used iron-headed bamboo spears for a long time, but their iron-headed bamboo spears were actually far better than most of the Japanese army.

The reasons are not complicated. One is that the "iron head" of their bamboo spears—that is, the spear tip—is supplied by Jinghua, which is of high quality and has considerable armor-piercing ability; And it has been excellently strengthened. If you can't deliberately find a very suitable angle to cut, even the Ming army's own standard Yanling knife will keep cutting, and it will only slide or bounce away.

Japan currently lacks resources other than gold and silver. Therefore, the Japanese army is far less particular about making bamboo spears. They can only choose better bamboo—they don’t lack this—rough processing is enough. .

In this way, the Japanese army's weapons were not as good as humans, and their armor was not as good as that of humans. Although they didn't have to worry about being bombarded after the melee, their melee fierceness was brought into play, which was not inferior to the Ming army.But unfortunately, it was offset by the Ming army's height and strength advantages, so naturally the more they fought, the more passive they became.

Inoue Zhifang was anxious, hoping that the Rangers could make a breakthrough, but at this moment, seeing the Rangers' defeat, he was getting closer to himself instead.Inoue Zhifang sighed, knowing that there was no hope of breaking through, he had to order the whole team to retreat first.

Afterwards, Naoyuki Kuroda and Nobuyuki Kiriyama led the Zuobei [-]nd Division and were ordered to attack again. Before the battle, Nobuyuki Kiriyama drank the wine of death with the whole team.

Nobuyuki Tongshan encouraged and threatened, and said loudly: "If you go out today, you will never be defeated! Your bravery will move the gods and will be remembered by the world! The living will enjoy the glory of this life, and the family of the dead will be protected by His Royal Highness. For daimyo, samurai! Anyone who is afraid will be regarded as a deserter and will be executed immediately! Parents, wives and children will also be punished!"

After Kiriyama Nobuyuki gave the order, the whole team expressed their willingness to fight to the end—whether it is true or not.

However, even so, the battle situation was still slapstick. Naoyuki Kuroda tried to force a breakthrough three times in a row, and almost rushed to the front of the formation, but he had already suffered two wounds.

Seeing this, Kuroda Nagamasa sighed: "I see that the Ming army's firepower is so dense and repeated. I really don't know how many troops are there. They stand still and kill our army with firearms. Such a battle situation is really a disgrace to my Kuroda family.

In my opinion, the firearms of the Ming army should be concentrated at the front of its position. If we can take this place with all our strength and use the firearms for me, even if there are tens of thousands of them, I will be invincible. "

Mother Li Youxin looked sad, and said: "It is still unknown whether the strength of the Ming army is real or not. It seems that there is a large army in battle just by looking at the momentum, but I always feel that something is wrong. It is difficult to determine whether it is a trick of suspicious soldiers..."

Kuroda Nagamasa reminded himself to be resolute, so he shook his head and ordered: "No matter what, we must capture this place, even if the Ming army is several times stronger than me, seizing the Ming army's firearms can turn the tide of the battle.

Returning the same way to the other body, I think it will definitely make their liver and gallbladder tear apart!His Royal Highness Xiuyuan is about to arrive, and my father will also arrive shortly thereafter. Victory belongs to our army in the end!As for now, let me reveal the reality of this Ming army. The winner of this battle can only be our Kuroda army! "

Therefore, Kuroda Nagamasa led his own team of [-], and launched a strong attack with all his strength.Perhaps it was because the lord was in charge, the morale of the Kuroda army soared, and they rushed forward and charged desperately.Kuroda Nagamasa ordered the team to give up defense and advance at full speed, regardless of the life or death of others, and not to be slow or afraid. He also ordered the iron artillery team to be within [-] steps of the Ming army to shoot under cover.

The Ming army still responded step by step, and the artillery and bows and arrows remained as usual, but this time they could not completely stop the Japanese advance.Ming general Niu Boying ordered the musketeers to meet the enemy. A hundred and twenty musketeers formed three rows and fired alternately. At the same time, 20 people were left as a reserve team to avoid losses on the front line and no one to supplement.

In addition to muskets, the Ming army also launched a variety of rockets such as magic machines and arrow cars in rounds-rocket firearms are one of the few "old weapons" retained by the Ming army after the highly pragmatic military reform. Retained, and even increased the research and development efforts, greatly increasing the rewards for the research and development of new rocket weapons.

Of course, in addition to rocket weapons, many "thunder"-type firearms were retained after the military reform of the Ming army, but generally speaking, there are two types of mines and mines.

Except for grenades, the throwing "thunder" weapons that need to be thrown by equipment have been temporarily put on hold due to some technical reasons.

In fact, this is mainly because Gao Pragmatically believes that "long-range bombing" should be the work of artillery and rockets, and these two weapons need professional shells such as "blooming bombs" to achieve the "bombing" effect, rather than engaging in bombardment. A catapult throws the mines out to blow up—with the development of science and technology, even if the accuracy of the catapult is not much different from that of the artillery at present, the gap in the future will be too great.What's more, the catapult itself is too large, and its maneuverability is too hip.

Due to these reasons, at this time, there were bursts of fire between the positions, stray bullets, and the sound of artillery, and the Japanese army fought very hard.But it is not without good news. They found that it may be due to the fact that the firepower of the Ming army has been significantly weakened after many rounds of consumption. This may be a manifestation of the insufficient inventory of gunpowder and projectiles in the Ming army.

In fact, this is a misunderstanding. There are two main reasons for the weakening of the firepower of the Ming army: one is that the barrel of the artillery has overheated after so many rounds, and the firing speed must be reduced; the other is that the rocket weapons of the Ming army do not have automatic loading machines. After launching, you need to reload one by one. After shooting those that were loaded earlier, you must reload while shooting.

Kuroda's main unit was within a hundred paces of the Ming army. Seeing this, Kuroda Nagamasa ordered the iron cannons to fire in formation, and at the same time sent a message to the various divisions to launch a general attack.

The commander-in-chief of the Ming army, Xie Sheng, saw that the situation was critical, so he also ordered the whole army to attack, and at the same time ordered the firearms troops not to stop firing.Niu Boying was worried that if the firearms were not interrupted, it would inevitably hurt his own side, Jie Sheng said: "We need to defend the line first, so we call it an attack, but the number of people who can attack is only [-], the enemy is outnumbered, we must give as much as possible The enemy suffered the most casualties, and at the same time, it always shows that the main force of the army is here! Don't worry, you sit here, and Yang Dengshan and I will attack the enemy."

The Kuroda army has launched an all-out general offensive, the striker has engaged the Ming army, and the Ming army has formed a white formation against the enemy.This white-armed soldier is worthy of being a famous force in history, especially in this kind of mountainous and hilly landform, fighting and defending, almost one against five.

The two sides fell into a war, and there was a stalemate for a while, and Kuroda's teams would rush into the battlefield one after another.The Kuroda family fiercely wielded the ten-foot-long famous gun "Nihon-kan" (the name is really called) wielded by his mother Yunobu, and killed it from left to right, unstoppable, and finally met Ming general Jiesheng.

Jiesheng raised his sword to fight, the two showed their skills, and they went back and forth for [-] rounds. Jiesheng gradually found it difficult to block the offensive of Mu Liyouxin. In addition, his long spear "Japan" was inch-long and inch-strong. The knife was very difficult to play, and was finally stabbed by it and overturned to the ground.

Muli Youxin was overjoyed, and was about to take advantage of the situation to pursue the assassination, but was shot in the right shoulder and leg by a stray arrow, and had to retreat back to the front.Kuroda Nagamasa inspired the fighting spirit again, howling and killing, the Japanese army became more murderous.

At the critical juncture, a cavalry soldier from each side of the Kuroda army came to attack, their momentum was swift and fierce, the army was magnificent, and the dust and smoke billowed up, disturbing the world.

Ming general Qugui led Li Penqiao and Liu Yujie to kill nearly [-] elite cavalry.Unlike the Ming army that defended the defense line just now, many cavalry dismounted to fight, but this Ming army cavalry that suddenly broke out is "professional people doing professional things."

After the cavalry of the Ming army rushed in from the two wings of Heitian, the Heitian army was immediately scattered and scattered, and the casualties doubled.Kuroda Changmasa's face changed drastically, and he exclaimed: "This is the main force! The Ming army used our team as bait, waited for work with ease, strengthened the ranger's surprise attack, and finally became a pincer attack. They made a mistake. They used the woodpecker battle of Kansuke Yamamoto, the military commander of Takeda Shingen. Law!"

Of course, the Ming army didn't know what woodpecker was. In fact, this tactic was often used in the Ming army's battles.

Kuroda Nagamasa saw that his side was in disarray, and hastily ordered the whole army to retreat and flee to the rear, intending to join up with Mori Hidemoto first.At the same time, he also faintly worried that the Ming army was so prepared in a place like Lianhua Mountain, so wouldn't the "surprise attack" that Father expected had failed before it started?
