Chapter 229 Ming Army Bloody Battle Tokugawa Army

Xiao Ruxun watched as the battle situation fell into a stalemate, and the Japanese army who was eager to retreat obviously fell into madness. Such a crazy counterattack was not good for the Ming army, and there was no need for the Ming army to lose too much here.

So he immediately ordered the blunderbusses who retreated to the back of the big formation to form a formation, and then projected towards the sky at an angle of elevation to attack the Japanese army behind the big formation. But there is no place to cry.

The blunderbuss immediately followed Xiao Ruxun's order to form a formation, raised the blunderbuss, and fired at the sky at an elevation angle of 45 degrees. Bang bang bang bang salvos, lead bullets set off a bloody storm behind the Japanese army formation.

A soldier who was only a few meters away from Tokugawa Ieyasu was shot through the throat and directly killed. The corners of Tokugawa Ieyasu's eyes twitched. Kuroda Rusui saw that the situation was not good, and immediately ordered to follow suit. He ordered the Japanese army's iron gunners to form an array behind the formation, throwing shots at the rear of the Ming army's formation, and retaliated against the Ming army.

But before their iron cannonball formation was completed, the Ming army's second round and third round of projectile shooting came. The formation just formed was beaten to pieces. Rushui was furious, quick to wit, and ordered the iron gunners to disperse and shoot at the sky freely, not to gather together, and not to give the Ming army a chance to catch them all.

This strategy has achieved certain results. The Japanese army began to counterattack. Soldiers in the Ming army were also wounded and killed by the lead bullets that fell from the sky. Xiao Ruxun coldly watched the soldiers who died in battle, and observed the rear with binoculars In addition to ordering the pawns to fight back quickly, they were also observing when the three fierce generals, Luo Shangzhi, Li Rusong and Liu Ting, would be able to defeat all the blocking Japanese troops, and then come forward and attack back and forth.

He has only 1 elite soldiers under his command, and the Japanese army here is obviously more than 2, while Luo Shangzhi has more than [-] Ming troops, and the number of Japanese troops there is obviously lower than that of the Ming army.

But the Japanese army was unexpectedly brave and good at fighting. The two tiger generals, Li Rusong and Liu Ting, failed to take away their wave. Then fell into a fight.

There are not many people in this Japanese army, at most 1, but their combat effectiveness is surprisingly strong, and the soldiers are also extremely fierce. The troops didn't take advantage of it, and Luo Shangzhi's elite and skilled Nanbing Yuanyang formation also made slow progress.

However, the number of the Japanese army was small after all, and they were attacked by the Ming army on three sides, and gradually they couldn't support it. Finally, the complete formation was broken up by the Ming army, and the three Ming troops quickly cut and besieged, cutting the Japanese army into three small pieces. , respectively stormed.

Luo Shangzhi was the first to complete the task and ate up the Japanese army he was in charge of. Soon, Li Rusong and Liu Ting also made breakthroughs. Only a few thousand people left in this Japanese army were still fighting. Soon it will be destroyed.

The battle situation at Xiao Ruxun's place was also very tense. The Japanese army's desperate assault actually broke through the first iron shield defense line of the Ming army. Xiao Ruxun immediately ordered the Ming army to form a second iron shield defense line. The Japanese army started to attack, but once the lead bullets of the Japanese army happened to hit the shield soldiers of the Ming army, Japanese swordsmen would rush into the Ming army's formation quickly, slashing with their knives, often killing several Ming soldiers. army soldier.

For this reason, Xiao Ruxun sent the Ningxia personal guards around him, and sent Zhao Hu, the bravest general around him, to hold a long pole and a big knife, and led the personal guards to go up and chop when they saw Japanese sabers rushing in. Preventing them from destroying the Ming army's formation was very effective. The Japanese army's offensive was frustrated, and the Ming army's gunmen took the opportunity to fight back, pushing back the front line and recovering the previous front line bit by bit. .

Tokugawa Ieyasu and Kuroda Rushui saw the battle situation stalemate, and estimated that the Japanese army blocking the rear might not be able to hold on. If the Japanese army in the rear was wiped out and the Ming army came to kill them together, they would definitely be surrounded and wiped out here.

In order to avoid such an ending, they had to fight out. Kuroda Rusui looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu and said hastily: "We must fight out! Lord, please lead your troops to charge to boost morale and let the soldiers fight out as soon as possible." , no matter what, at least make sure that you can lead the team out!"

Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded, and decided to personally charge with the most powerful retainer guards to boost morale. Kuroda Rusui accompanied him with a big gun, and his force was also very high. He did not hesitate to fight on the battlefield, but It is risky to fight on the battlefield. As a military adviser, he doesn't often go to the battlefield, but at this time, he has no choice. The battle situation is at stake, Xiao Ruxun is cunning, they must take risks and charge.

Xiao Ruxun saw the movement of the Japanese commander's flag in the center of the formation, and realized that Tokugawa Ieyasu and Kuroda Rusui were planning to charge forward. If this wave of attack could not be stopped, the iron shield defense line of the Ming army would be more dangerous. Xiao Ruxun immediately ordered The [-] pistols in his personal guard rushed to the front line and ordered them to aim at the direction of the movement of the Japanese commander's flag.

Facts have proved that this kind of containment is very effective. Tokugawa Ieyasu's charging momentum was frustrated. When the buckshot fell, Tokugawa Ieyasu hadn't noticed it and was still charging. As a result, he was thrown off his horse by a retainer. Tokugawa Just as Ieyasu was about to yell, he found that the retainer threw himself on him, and his back had already been blasted by seven or eight lead bullets, making him a sieve, but he was just lucky not to be hit.

His horse was hit and died on the ground. Kuroda Rushui followed behind and escaped the round of shooting by chance. Seeing that the guards around Tokugawa Ieyasu were dead and wounded, he knew that this Ming army was moving according to the direction of the handsome flag. While shooting, I happened to hit Tokugawa Ieyasu's guards who rushed to the front line of the battlefield. Fortunately, Tokugawa Ieyasu was fine, otherwise Kuroda Rusui would have committed seppuku. Once Tokugawa Ieyasu died, what else would this war be about?
"Master!" Kuroda Rushui quickly got off his horse and helped Tokugawa Ieyasu up: "Are you alright?!"

Tokugawa Ieyasu seemed to be in shock, trembling all over his body. It took him a while to calm down. He gritted his teeth and pointed in the direction of the commander-in-chief of the Ming army in the distance, and said angrily: "Fight back! Fight back! They can fight back!" We can fight too! Fight back!!!"

Kuroda Rushui hurriedly dissuaded: "The distance is too far! If we can't hit, it's useless. They shoot us according to our handsome flag. Our target is too big and too close to the front line. Lord, retreat immediately. Otherwise there will be..."

"Lord be careful!!"

Before Kuroda Rushui finished speaking, the voices of several retainers rang out!
