The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 345

The spear and shield soldiers who were ready to go in the back stepped forward one after another.

In the tunnel, many musketeers were taking off their armor and putting them on for the spear and shield soldiers, but when the order came, many of them rejected it directly: "No need. Let's go." They rushed out with their spears and shields.

The Japanese army crazily climbed up the wall. At this time, the firecrackers could no longer be seen, and the rain in the sky was gradually decreasing.

They saw the signs of victory.

Sudden.

"Kill" densely packed long spears appeared in front of them, swishing, swishing, and stabbed at the Japanese soldiers who climbed up the wall.

The rainy day was slippery, and it was not easy to climb the wall. After being stabbed by a spear, a large number of Japanese soldiers screamed and rolled down, but more Japanese soldiers rushed up again.

The two sides fought desperately on the city wall.

This defensive area can hold 500 people. Zhao Dashan ordered the musketeers behind to quickly replace the armor with the gun shield soldiers. There are soldiers changing armor everywhere in the tunnel. After changing, they immediately rushed out to replace them at any time.

If someone was injured or fell down, they immediately stepped forward and dragged them into the tunnel.

At this time, Zhao Dashan was a little depressed. If Master Ruoding was here, the iron armor might have been replaced long ago. I still didn't expect it.

He didn't expect the Japanese army to attack so fiercely, rushing to the front of the formation in less than half an hour.

Yoshida Kazu was also the leader of the Japanese army, and he led two thousand soldiers and horses to find a small path up the mountain from the side and rear.

He is a member of the Lord of Ishimi Kingdom, and he is quite familiar with this place. At the end of this path is a tunnel called Okubo Mabu, which was taken in memory of Okubo Changan.

It is currently the only passable trail on Shangyin Mountain.

They braved the rain and went around the mountains, and after climbing for a long time, they finally came to a mountain trail.

"From here, you can go around behind the Ming army. They must be guarding above." Yoshida Kazuya said to the people around him.

Next to him was Ono Sheng, the leader of the shogunate, and one thousand of the two thousand soldiers were from the shogunate.

"There is only a bloody battle, rush forward, and do not expect a price." Ono Sheng said coldly.

"Easy to defend but difficult to attack." Yoshida Kazuya shook his head and sighed. He has walked this road several times, so he certainly knows how difficult it is to attack.

Xiao Yesheng looked at the mountain road, it was about three meters wide, and it couldn't be considered a small road.

"This road is relatively wide, and it's not difficult to walk. Let's go." With a wave of his big hand, he motioned for soldiers and horses to follow.

Yoshida Kazuya bit the bullet and followed.

The mountain is overgrown with miscellaneous trees, and there are rocks and jungles on both sides. There is only a road about three meters in the middle, which sometimes becomes one meter wide, and sometimes three or four meters wide.

There are countless mountains and rocks in the forest on both sides, which are rough and difficult to ambush soldiers, so they did not rush along the way.

The mountain gets steeper towards the back, but fortunately the road is three or four meters long, so it's not difficult to walk.

There are trees on both sides, which can be used as crutches to climb up.

It was raining even on the mountain, and the ground was wet and slippery. Many people accidentally fell down along the way.

The Japanese troops were scolding one after another, scolding this wave of smart people for being mentally ill and going to Japan to grab money.

After climbing forward for about half an hour, the rain in the sky became less and less, and they were almost at the top of the mountain.

Suddenly, the soldiers and horses in front stopped at the same time. Yoshida and Ono stared blankly at the road ahead. There was silence all around, and the Japanese soldiers in front all stared blankly.

For about half a minute, Yoshida and Ono looked at each other, cursing in their hearts, how can this be an attack?

The mountain road ahead has been blocked by the Ming army.

This road is about three meters wide, and the angle is about [-] to [-] degrees. It is relatively steep, but you can go up the mountain after walking this section, and it is also the last section of the mountain road.

The Ming people were 80 to [-] meters away from them. They cut thin trees into pointed ones and made them into something similar to nail palladium. , three or four meters wide, just blocking the road.

It looked as if a long gun was pointed at them, densely packed.

Such things certainly don't do any harm, and they can easily go over there and remove them if they have time.

But for such pointed things, there will be one every more than one meter from now on.

At a distance of seven to eighty meters, there are twenty or thirty of them. Looking all the way, they are all densely packed with sharpened trees facing them.

It is estimated that it will take about an hour to dismantle so many sharp woods.

And at the highest point in the distance, there is a blockhouse made of sandbags and wood by the Ming people.

They were used to seeing fully enclosed bunkers like Mingren's. There was a hole in the middle of the bunker, revealing two black cannon muzzles.

On the three or four meter wide road, the Ming people actually set up two cannons.

Four or five meters below the cannon, there are four rows of sandbags stacked and connected to the trees on both sides. Wooden boards are tied to cover them, which can not only shelter from rain, but also block bows and arrows.

There are densely packed gunners in the back. It is estimated that there are about 30 people, which are very crowded, and they are all squeezed into these four rows.

Now they can only see Mingren's blunderbuss, but not the person, probably squatting behind.

On the whole, there are at most 100 Ming people guarding here.

But the defense is made like this, and Ono and Yoshida feel that they may not be able to attack if they fill up with 2000 people.

At this time, because the rain was getting weaker and weaker, it looked like it was about to stop, and the face of the Ming army was also exposed on the top of the bunker, which proved that the Ming army could still stand on the bunker.

"What should I do?" Yoshida asked Ono. He has trypophobia, and when he saw the densely packed sharpened wood, his scalp felt numb and his heart felt cold.

"What should I do?" Ono took a deep breath and glared at him: "It's hard to climb up, of course the only way is to attack."

"How do you attack?" Yoshida's eyes widened. Isn't this sending him to death?
"We have a lot of people, so fill them in. 2000 people climbed up, and they went down before they attacked. How do you explain to the master?" Ono did not hesitate, and took out his long knife.

Look up and look behind you.

All the soldiers behind looked at each other in blank dismay. Obviously, everyone also felt that this wise man was a lunatic, and it was not easy to attack this way.

But if it is not easy to attack, you have to attack. Behind Ono are the soldiers of the shogunate, so naturally the soldiers of the shogunate attacked first.

"Break this Ming army, everyone will have a silver reward, and the first to reach the top of the mountain will be promoted two levels." Ono swung his knife and gave an order.

"Long live the general." Someone in the crowd shouted.

"Killing" the Japanese army began to rush upwards.

As soon as the Japanese army moved, five gunmen emerged from the first row above, holding up their guns, and all of them had cotton stuffed in their ears.

The following are all densely packed people.

Can hit without aiming.

But neither of them fought first.

Waited for a while.

Boom, a cannon rang.

The guns behind them fired one after another.

The gun on the left fired first.

Whoosh, an iron bullet flew out and slammed into the crowd of Japanese soldiers charging.

Chi la, the crowd was torn apart in a split second. After being blocked by countless people and the wet muddy ground, they flew more than ten meters before stopping.

The crowd was in a panic, there were screams and wailing sounds everywhere, wounded soldiers and corpses were all on both sides of the road, and all kinds of severed limbs were scattered all over the place.

Vomit, someone just vomited, leaning on the tree to vomit wildly.

Before they could react, boom, the second shot hit the crowd.

Another bloody road of more than ten meters.

Because it was a steep mountain road, after the shell flew out, it jumped back.

Often the first landing point is at 80 meters. After hitting a person, he jumps up and jumps directly to more than 100 meters away.

The iron bullet is in flight, if it hits someone's head, it will be shattered in an instant.

Ono took a breath when he saw it, but quickly reacted: "Hurry up."

The Japanese army screamed and charged wildly.
