Go back to the Ming Dynasty to be a thousand households

Chapter 292 Power
December 25th, the 29th year of Wanli.

The Ming army attacked the city again, but failed.Ma Gui finds Yang Gao, hoping to let the Shanxi army fight. Their firecrackers are sharp and they have a great chance of winning.Yang Hao was already a little lost at this time, but he still resolutely rejected Ma Gui's request.

On this day, Japanese reinforcements began to arrive, and Yang Gao ordered Lu Jizhong to lead an army of [-] troops to block the Taihe River Estuary and strengthen the defense.He ordered Gao Ce to lead the troops to monitor the enemies in Busan and Sacheon, and ordered Li Rumei to bombard the Japanese reinforcements with artillery.However, the reinforcements continued to flow, and the bombardment was not enough.

On the [-]th, it was New Year’s Eve, but the armies of both sides were still fighting, and blood flowed all over the ground... But the Ming army’s attack failed again... Yang Hao once again rejected Ma Gui’s request to let Huang Laifu fight, and everyone Will all hate it!
In fact, Yang Gao was also gambling at this time. He believed that the Ming army was in a bad situation at this time, and the Japanese army in the city was even more desperate!
According to the Japanese captives, there are only a few thousand Japanese soldiers left in the city right now. They have run out of food and have no water source. Right now, the Japanese city of Daoshan is like a hell on earth. None of the Japanese soldiers guarding the mountain city can speak clearly. They Communication between them has become a problem.

But what Yang Gao didn't expect was the amazing willpower of the Japanese army, and after the reinforcements arrived, they also gave them strong hope and supported them to continue fighting!

……

On the first day of the first lunar month in the 26th year of Wanli, at this time in the mainland of Ming Dynasty, the whole country was intoxicated with the New Year's festivities, only their children were still fighting in foreign lands.

The Ming army continued to attack the city this day, but failed...

Shadows hung over the entire army.

On the second day of the lunar new year, the Japanese reinforcements from outside the city launched a counterattack. Although the Ming army resisted successfully, their morale was low. In order to prevent the Japanese army from attacking inside and outside, they began to shrink their positions.

At this time, the number of Japanese troops inside and outside the city had reached more than [-], comparable to that of the Ming army, which had already become a tired army.

On the third day of the lunar new year, the Ming army gathered to attack the city. Although the Japanese army in the city looked like walking corpses at this time, they still fought instinctively.They frantically shot down their guns and arrows, and the battle was at its most intense. The Japanese army pushed the corpses of their own dead to the top of the city for rolling wood and beating stones.

In the end, although the Ming army set up more than a dozen long ladders, only a few dozen people could really rush to the top of the city to fight.In the end, the Japanese army burned the long ladder with kerosene.

Such a heavy blow with all his strength could not win the Dosan Wajo Castle, Yang Gao's face turned pale, indicating that failure was inevitable!At this point he already had the heart to retreat.

The fourth day.

Ma Gui, Huang Laifu, and all the generals in the army found Yang Gao and asked Huang Laifu to play.

Yang Hao's face was pale, and his eyes were evasive, not daring to meet the eyes of the generals and Huang Laifu. He wanted to forcefully refuse to let Huang Laifu play again, but seeing the anger in everyone's eyes, he softened in the end, and said weakly: "It's the generals. General request, then... then let General Huang lead the army to fight..."

Huang Laifu clasped his fists and said loudly: "The last general takes orders!"

At this time, he could no longer care about any irony. If the Shanxi Army did not fight again, the Ming Army was in danger of collapsing.He turned to Jiang Dazhong and shouted: "Order the whole army, prepare to line up to fight!"

Jiang Dazhong took the order loudly and left.

When the news came out, the Ming army was relieved. The Shanxi army was strong, and all the troops saw it. Moreover, they had sharp firearms and had been recharging their energy for a long time. With them in battle, Daoshan Wacheng would definitely be able to go down.

After hearing the military order, the Shanxi Army also burst into cheers.

During these times, the Shanxi Army has become a professional ambulance team, doing nothing but treating the wounded.Watching other troops attacking the city every day, but myself staring at the city, this kind of suffering is really indescribable, especially for an army with a strong desire to fight like the Shanxi Army.

The entire army was spreading the strategy of Yang Gao to make things difficult for their own Huang Junmen, deliberately preventing the Shanxi Army from doing meritorious service, which made all the soldiers extremely dissatisfied, even the soldiers of the Ming army in the other battalion were also full of resentment towards Yang Gao.

Soon, the top and bottom of the Shanxi Army were integrated, all in armor, under the leadership of Huang Laifu, holding their own weapons, and came out of the camp neatly.

Under Daoshan City, Huang Laifu set up a formation.He decided to lead the attack with sword and shield soldiers, and all the musketeers formed a continuous firepower in the back.The early failure of the Ming army is inseparable from the fact that the firepower of the firecrackers, bows and arrows is not as good as that of the Japanese army.As for artillery and the like, it is still free.During this trip, the Ming army did not have heavy artillery, and the rest of the Polu artillery, tiger squatting artillery and other small artillery could not cause any damage to the stone wall.
After setting up the formation, the officers began to encourage the soldiers loudly, and the sergeants also held their weapons tightly, full of confidence in victory.Yang Gao led Ma Gui, Li Rumei and other Ming army generals to watch the battle on Guhe Mountain.

In addition, a large number of soldiers from the Ming army gathered behind the Shanxi army to watch, many shouted and encouraged the Shanxi army in front, and many soldiers of the Ming army clasped their hands together, hoping that the Shanxi army could successfully attack the city. This is their last hope.

Huang Laifu rode his horse to the front of the army, countless eyes followed his figure!
Huang Laifu drew out his sharp sword, pointed at the strong city of Daoshan in front of him, and shouted loudly: "Invade Daoshan and kill all the Japanese!"

All the Shanxi army stomped their feet with weapons in their hands and shouted: "Kill all the Japanese, kill all the Japanese!"

"Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!..."

The sound spread far to Guhe Mountain, and Yang Gao couldn't help but turn pale.

Seeing the might of the Ming army, all the Japanese soldiers in the city trembled.As if feeling that his end was coming, the Buddhist Kato Kiyomasa also knelt down and muttered to the sky: "Buddha bless, Buddha bless..."

The overwhelming "Wan Sheng!" sounded across the sea, and President Xiaonishi and others who came to help had solemn expressions...

Huang Laifu shouted: "Siege the city!"

The Shanxi army, who were waiting in full battle, jumped up and rushed towards Daoshan City with shouts.

"The iron cannon is ready... the iron cannon is ready!"

Asano Yukunaga, the iron cannon general in the inner city, saw the Ming army coming like a tide, and shouted sharply.After many days of hard fighting, he has already lost his human form. With only a single willpower to support him, he is afraid that it will be another bitter battle right now.Seeing him pass the order, the envoy in charge of communication hastily conveyed his order.

The Shanxi army came in dense numbers. The first ones were sword and shield soldiers. They put their shields on top of their heads to resist the iron cannons, bows and arrows of the Japanese army on the city.

For this attack, Huang Laifu wanted to break through at the west gate of the inner city of Daoshan, and dispatched 4000 soldiers from the entire army. Although [-] of the Shanxi army were auxiliary soldiers, those auxiliary soldiers were even more elite than ordinary Ming soldiers. , can also fight.Like warriors, half of them are equipped with firearms, and the other half are equipped with cold weapons such as knives, guns and shields.

Therefore, during the attack, the 500 Swordsman and Shield Spearmen, with nearly [-] men per division, attacked in waves, while the [-]-strong Gunners followed closely, intending to use three waves of firepower. , Continuously covering under the city!The last five hundred servants surrounded Huang Laifu as guards and also as a reserve team.

Seeing that the Ming army was so ferocious this time, the Japanese army on the city was very nervous. The iron gunners were all intently aiming at the city, and the densely packed iron cannons were also pointing at the Ming army sword and shield soldiers who charged.And the archers at the top of the city also bent their bows and drew their arrows, ready to shoot later!
Soon, the Ming saber and shield soldiers rushed into the range of the iron cannon, and there was a black shield under the city, and dozens of long ladders were approaching!

Yukino Asano roared, and was about to order the iron gunners to fire their guns. At this moment, they saw patches of white smoke rising from behind the Ming sabers and shield soldiers below the city. Amidst the blaze, there was a deafening volley of guns.Immediately, the Japanese iron gunners and archers at the top of the city were caught off guard, and there was a lot of screams. Many people had bleeding lines and blood holes on their bodies, and they fell back to the ground unbelievably.

Even Yukicaga Asano had a few blood holes in his body, and he fell to the ground unbelievably on his back, dying so badly that he couldn't die anymore!

When Tie Wan hit Jingjun at the top of the city, it was a burst of blood mist, and when it hit the stone wall, there were traces of white smoke.The 500 firecrackers of the Shanxi Army were all covered behind the swords and shields.They fired in three waves. Each time they rushed over, it was a volley. Each time, nearly [-] firecrackers fired at the top of the city. Wave after wave, they concentrated their attacks on one point.
Under such intensive blows, how could the Japanese army on the city bear it?With the continuous fire from each gun barrel, there were constant screams on the city.After three waves of shooting with a total of [-] firecrackers, nearly a hundred Japanese soldiers had already fallen on the city. Blood soaked the boundaries of the city. The howling of the wounded and the thick and disgusting smell of blood spread.There is also the choking smell of gunpowder smoke from the city.

The Japanese army on the city was a little stunned by this kind of blow, some people were running around and jumping around, and their spirits were not clear. Occasionally, a few people raised their iron cannons and stood up to shoot, and then hurriedly got down again. What's the point?Even the archers standing on the top of the city suffered a lot of casualties, and they dared not raise their heads to look down the city.

In their battles in the past few days, the three-eyed blunderbuss and bows and arrows of the Ming army were far inferior to them in range. Therefore, the defenders of Daoshan Wacheng did not pay attention to the fire blunderbussmen who followed the Ming army sword and shield soldiers. Only turn your attention to the sword and shield soldiers near the city.

The firecrackers of the Shanxi army were comparable in power and range to the Japanese iron cannons, but they were much faster to load.One is intentional and the other is unintentional. Once they attack, the Japanese army will suffer a big loss immediately!

The Japanese firepower on the city has been completely suppressed!Taking advantage of this time, the Ming sabers and shield soldiers rushed to the bottom of the city quickly with densely packed shields. They set up long ladders and climbed up continuously. Without the Japanese iron cannons and arched feet, they climbed up the city smoothly. , and began to fight hand-to-hand with the Japanese ashigaru spears and swordsmen.

One has been recharging his energy for a long time, and he is also a well-known elite in the Ming army, and the other has been fighting hard for many days, and none of them has a human form?Where can it resist?For a while, the Japanese army retreated steadily.But at this time, the iron gunners of the Japanese army were even more useless. Occasionally, some iron gunners who were not close to the long ladder got up and shot down the city, and immediately ushered in the bombardment of Ming army firecrackers below the city!At present, the Shanxi Army's flintlock guns are reloaded very quickly. In the past, the matchlock guns could be fired once every 2 minutes at the fastest, but now the flintlock guns can be fired once every minute, and the proficient can shoot twice!
Long ladders were erected one by one, and the densely packed Shanxi saber and shield soldiers rushed up like ants. Seeing that the Japanese army at the top of the city could not resist, the Shanxi army attacked the Japanese city of Daoshan for the first time.The city was in sight, and everyone, including the Ming army watching the battle, cheered, and the sound of "Wan Sheng" resounded throughout the world.

The Shanxi army was so fierce and its firearms so powerful that Yang Gao and others who were watching the battle on Guhe Mountain were shocked!
