The Age of Lords Reborn

Chapter 485 Tachibana Muneshige's Fear (Subscribe)
Tachibana Muneshige expressed his concerns, and Takahashi Tomosuke and Otomo Yoshitomo, who was originally stationed in Fengshan, fell silent.

It is true that they had not paid attention to President Xiaonishi's supply transportation team before, but they were very clear about the consequences of problems in the supply transportation.

When Chief Xiaonishi landed in Busan, he headed north without stopping.

He and Kato Kiyomasa of the Second Corps had never been saturated with logistics, and had even been slightly insufficient. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to directly enter Pyongyang in just a few months and drive the King of Joseon to Uiju.

President Xiaoxi didn't dare to stretch the battle line any longer. Firstly, he wanted to use the Pyongyang defensive circle to compete with Daming, and secondly, he was waiting for his own logistics supplies to arrive.

Now that the logistics of the First Army is in trouble, Da Ming really has to make up his mind to make a quick decision. How long can Captain Xiaoxi hold out?

two days?

three days?

Tachibana Muneshige didn't dare to think about it, and couldn't think about it.

The soldier who called for help from Longquan Mountain had already described the powerful combat power of the Ming army very clearly.Tachibana Muneshige didn't think that with 2 people under Konishi Yukina, Pyongyang could be defended.

And if the three corps on his side enter Pyongyang, and then the third army will follow north.The battle circle in Pyongyang will become stronger again, and Ming Dynasty's plan to wipe out the defenders in Pyongyang will also go bankrupt.

Tachibana Muneshige thought so, but he didn't know it at all.In Mo Xiaobai's eyes, solving him is actually more 'important' than winning Pyongyang.

In other words, defeating Muneshige Tachibana should be prioritized over Governor Konishi!

This was the only strategic deployment that Mo Xiaobai intervened in. As for the specific tactics, Li Ji and Guo Jia formulated and perfected them based on Mo Xiaobai's strategic requirements.

Not knowing his own 'priority', Tachibana Soshige was even less aware that Daming had sent troops to deal with him.Tachibana Zongshige was not alert until the marching sentry sent out ahead did not come back to report the road conditions for more than a quarter of an hour.

Before he signaled the whole army to hold off, walking in the forefront, the Japanese soldiers who had just passed a corner of the mountain road, turned a corner and saw rows of elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty lined up in front of them.

"Archer, let go of the arrow!"

When the post roads meet, the Ming army, which has always maintained its combat formation, can naturally take advantage of the first attack.Nearly 800 Yunnan-Guizhou archers drew their bows to the full, and then a rain of arrows fell.

Before the results of this wave of arrow rain appeared, Yang Dengshan waved his hand to signal his elite gunners to attack.

It was also at this time that the three of Tachibana Muneshige heard the sound of fighting coming from the front.

Hearing countless gunshots, Tachibana Zongshige immediately changed his face: "The whole army stops, the whole army stops, move closer to the Chinese army, all move closer to the Chinese army!"

As soon as Tachibana Muneshige's order was issued, the Japanese soldiers in front and back all shrank.However, the queues were not so dense during the march, and it was undoubtedly whimsical to gather all the soldiers at this moment.

Not to mention that when the Daming Bird musketeers completely knocked out the hundreds of Japanese soldiers in the front, heavy halberd soldiers also poured into the battlefield from the rear.Compared with the Japanese who only wore cloth armor, the heavy halberd warriors holding heavy halberds and Mo Dao made in Tang Dynasty undoubtedly appeared to be more offensive and defensive.

After the charge posts rely on the Japanese soldiers, they only need to use the simplest slashing action to take away the life of a famous Japanese soldier.

Slash with all your strength, leaving no energy behind.

Zhang Xi knew very well that he didn't need to fight this battle for too long, he just needed to give the Japanese a head-on blow.

For heavy halberds who are not good at long and fierce battles, letting them kill and leave is simply the most enjoyable battle arrangement.

Tachibana Muneshige had just gathered thousands of people behind him in the central army, prepared to line up and prepare to charge forward. Zhang He and his heavy halberds had already killed almost eight or nine hundred Japanese. , The Japanese fell more than [-]% of their troops because of lack of preparation.

However, when Tachibana Zongshige was about to surround the heavy halberd warrior with his face full of anger, Zhang He raised his hand decisively and ordered to retreat, and the gunmen who were sweeping by the side immediately stepped forward and cut off.

"bang bang bang"

With full firepower, the heavy halberds were covered to retreat.

Except for two unlucky guys who were surrounded by the Japanese, the rest all retreated safely.

The so-called 'run after pretending to be forceful' is just like that!

With the Miao soldiers covering and retreating, Tachibana Zongmao stomped his feet vigorously, but did not let the soldiers and horses under his command continue to charge when the range was unfavorable.

He stared at the Ming army who was going further and further ahead with hatred in his eyes, and gritted his teeth for a long time before he said: "Stand up and walk slowly, there must be soldiers of Ming Dynasty ahead!"

At this moment, he has a deeper understanding of the Ming Dynasty soldiers and horses.The Ming army's strategic awareness is perfect, and they can't even be picky about tactics.

Just like the ambush right now, they just happened to be stuck in a position not far from the Datong River.At this time, it is not cost-effective to withdraw troops and change lanes. Even if he knows that there is still a Ming army ahead, Tachibana Zongshige has to go straight ahead.

What's more, the Ming army has already arranged soldiers and horses here, and Munemo Tachibana is even more worried about Pyongyang in his heart.

Walking out of the mountain path with soldiers and horses like frightened birds, it was no surprise to see Daming's troops on the riverside.

Afterwards, he once again suffered from the range of attack, and watched as the Daming archers and musketeers retreated calmly into the river after firing one round after another.

But this time because of precautions, the shield protection was still in place, and less than 300 people fell down.

"Chase!"

"The whole army advances and crosses the river to kill the enemy!"

When the two armies meet, all Tachibana Soshige can do is to catch up quickly.However, when he puts all his defenses at the front, it is inevitable that there will be loopholes on the side.

When groups of Japanese soldiers set foot on the river, Li Guang, who had been ambushing a mile away, swooped down from the upper reaches with his tiger and leopard cavalry.

Dawan's sweat and blood and iron armor and heavy swords, although such a heavy cavalry force is small in number, they killed the Japanese soldiers and horses as soon as they came into contact.

After penetrating the Japanese army formation from the side, Li Guang didn't bother to fight, and retreated directly to the north bank from the lower reaches.

Immediately afterwards, the Hammermen followed suit.

Munemo Tachibana looked at this Ming army that emerged endlessly and with various patterns, and his heart was almost broken.

The Ming army did not launch an offensive against Pyongyang?

Instead, wait here for yourself?

A heavy hammer was thrown at the shield soldiers in the hands of the five big and three thick soldiers. The shields that can withstand arrows and bullets cannot resist the heavy hammer at all.

Even if he could block the heavy hammer, the Japanese soldier holding the shield was numb from the shock.

"The front army retreats, the iron gunners shoot!"

Tachibana Zongshige saw the trick and wanted to use iron gunners to attack these heavy hammermen who didn't wear much protection, but the heavy hammermen were not stupid, just like the heavy halberd warriors before, they ran away immediately after smashing them.

Their task itself is not to kill the enemy, as long as the Japanese soldiers and horses curl up on the river, it is a great achievement.

Seeing the thousands of Japanese all forming battles on the river, Mo Xiaobai, who had been watching the battle on the bank of the river, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Tachibana Zongshige, today is the day you will be defeated!"

As soon as the words fell, the gun carriages were already in position.

The iron cannon was loaded, and the fuse was ignited.

Seeing solid iron bullets soaring into the sky, Muneshige Tachibana, who was standing in the center of the battle formation, suddenly thought of something.

Panic and fear covered his entire face at this moment.
