Chapter 228 Ming Army Bloody Battle Tokugawa Army

Now that Tokugawa Ieyasu came to the front line in person, Xiao Ruxun did not intend to back down, and slowly drew out his waist knife, Xiao Ruxun also came to the front line, seeing the Japanese army group charging, most of them were swordsmen, and few gunmen , There was a tendency to regard death as home, and realized that the Ming army could not show weakness, so he ordered the shield soldiers and gunmen to form an formation, and ordered Wang Hui to lead the artillery team to block for a while, frustrating the enemy.

One after another shells exploded in the Japanese army formation. The Japanese soldiers turned their backs on their backs, blood and flesh flew everywhere, corpses piled up like mountains, blood flowed like rivers, and suffered heavy losses. However, Tokugawa Ieyasu's own banner has been standing upright and has never fallen. Or retreat, the bravery of the general and the lord gave the soldiers great courage. The so-called raging soldiers and raging generals, Tokugawa Ieyasu went forward bravely without fear of artillery, which was the greatest encouragement for the Japanese army.

Seeing that the dozens of cannons could not bring enough damage to the Japanese army, Xiao Ruxun immediately ordered the cannons to retreat, and the shotguns stepped forward. At a place less than 500 meters away from the Japanese army's charge, dozens of cannons fired loudly, smashing stones and lead into chaos. Flying, another bloodbath broke out in the Japanese army formation.

However, the banner did not retreat, and the Japanese army did not retreat. They were determined to fight a bloody battle with the Ming army. They continued to march forward bravely without any fear, stepping on the corpses and blood of their comrades-in-arms. She was moved by it, but this only made Xiao Ruxun's killing intent stronger.

"Large array of firearms! Start!!"

Xiao Ruxun waved the command flag, and the battle drums rumbled behind him. The battle order was conveyed. Xiao Ruxun personally entered the firearms formation and commanded it in the center. The formation immediately moved forward to protect the shotguns and gunners. The gunners retreated quickly, leaving the battlefield to the firearms. Great array.

On the battlefield, Xiao Ruxun witnessed a large number of Japanese troops roaring towards him, seeing death as home, with an attitude of going forward regardless of life and death, and a little admiration for Tokugawa Ieyasu's skill in commanding troops, but this is not the reason for his subordinates to show mercy, it will only be The reason for his death is that the Tokugawa army is not in vain for being strong in field battles. If such elite soldiers are not wiped out and left behind, they will become a huge threat to the Ming army stationed in Japan.

It must be eliminated on the battlefield!
"Raise the gun!!!"

As soon as Wang Hui waved the command flag, the three thousand blunderbusses immediately formed a three-stage shooting formation, raised the blunderbusses in their hands, and aimed at the Japanese soldiers who were ignoring the preparations of the Ming army who were crazily charging. Within range, Wang Hui waved the command flag again: "Let go!!"

bang bang bang bang—————

A thousand firecrackers opened fire in unison, and a thousand lead bullets whizzed away, beating the Japanese soldiers who were charging at the head until they were bleeding all over their bodies.

However, the Japanese army did not intend to use iron cannons to fight back, because Kuroda Rushui knew very well that once the iron cannons were used to fight back, it would give the Ming army time to use artillery again. In that case, it would be a devastating blow to the Japanese army. Hand-to-hand combat to offset the advantage of the Ming army in firearms, even if it cost heavy casualties.

For this reason, Tokugawa Ieyasu's heart was bleeding. The elite Tokugawa clan he trained so hard died in the charge just now. Many of them followed him from more than ten years ago or even more than 20 years ago. An old subordinate who has been fighting until now.

Fighting with Takeda Shingen, fighting with Oda Nobunaga, fighting with Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and fighting with many famous people, the strong soldiers who have experienced blood and fire died worthlessly in such a charge .

No, it's not worthless. Their death brought hope to the Japanese army to finally defeat the Ming army and escape.

Tokugawa Ieyasu knew very well that this was his last chance, and he had to do this. The two teams behind them, the Kanbara team and the Sakai team, were also his precious veterans. Now these veterans are fighting for their escape with their lives. He can't waste the time his veterans won, he can't stop even one step, he chose the most primitive hand-to-hand combat, and he will spare no effort.

However, this is meaningless to the Ming army. It is good to be able to defeat the enemy with firearms at a long distance, but if you really want to fight in close quarters, the Ming army is not at all afraid, and it is not that they have never had close combat with the Japanese army.

In the Battle of Bichi Hall, Wu Weizhong's [-] soldiers resisted the siege of more than [-] Japanese troops for more than half an hour. He didn't let the Japanese army take advantage of it. The Japanese army collapsed, and the biggest hero in the Battle of Bichiguan was undoubtedly Wu Weizhong.

And now, Xiao Ruxun wants to show his third ability besides strategic planning and tactical planning, which is enough to convince the generals--tough and good at fighting!
Faced with the despair brought about by natural disasters and man-made disasters in the last days, the level of despair in the Ming Dynasty is far inferior to that of that time. People who have come out of the confusion and despair of that era will not be afraid of this level of despair.

The three-stage attack went back and forth twice, and the Japanese army had already rushed to the front of a hundred meters. Xiao Ruxun immediately ordered the pawns to retreat, and the Shandong gunmen stepped forward. The formation of the Ming army immediately changed to a close-combat formation. You are torn apart and doubt life.

Tokugawa Ieyasu was not stupid either, the one who rushed to the front was the Ashgaru holding a bamboo spear, and from a distance of five or six meters, the big bamboo spear ruthlessly stabbed towards the Ming army phalanx, at the same time, The gunman of the Ming army also stabbed the iron gun in his hand towards the Japanese gunman who was charging!
prick!Pull it out!prick!Pull it out!prick!Pull it out!prick!Pull it out!Stab again!

Repeated simple mechanical movements are indeed the only rule on the battlefield. The greatest lethality that a shiny gun can cause also comes from such simple movements. Individual bravery is so small on a large battlefield where tens of thousands of people are fighting fiercely. .

Even a peerless master with astonishing martial arts skills will never be able to face such a neat and fierce killing formation. The army is always the strongest representative of force. When he condenses into one force, he will be invincible.

The two armies began to fight head-on, and from a distance, it seemed that two large phalanxes collided fiercely. The Japanese army in black and the Ming army in red shirts collided fiercely like this. At the same time, what burst out was not sparks, but blood.

The moment the two armies collided, a large amount of blood burst out, and it was unknown how many people were killed by the spears at that moment, and after that, the number continued to increase.

The Ming army is well-trained, powerful and experienced. This Japanese army is also well-trained, powerful and experienced. Eyes, desperately looking for the enemy's gaps, once found, stabbed down fiercely, the person stabbed has no chance of surviving, either being stabbed to death one after another, or being trampled to death by the comrades who caught up behind him.

On the battlefield, if you can't even take care of yourself, who can take care of others?
