Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 592 General Attack
There was a sense of restlessness in the army of the shogun who had been stationed in Gaoye and took turns to harass the mountains.

First of all, the food has been further reduced. Originally, the corporal could barely eat six to seven cents full, but now he only has two rice balls to satisfy his hunger every day. Secondly, a rumor spread in the army, and some indicated that the army had won Awaji Island, cut off the army's retreat, some said that the army had captured Kyoto and greeted the emperor, and some even said that Edo had fallen.

Coupled with the evidence of lack of food, the rumors made people panic.

For this reason, Tokugawa Iemitsu's benevolent mask was severely torn off by him.

Shimono, Kogen, Yokozu, Sumeru, except Tosa is in the hands of the Ming army, Awa is too far away, Qizan in the central area, Yihe and other parts of the two countries have suffered devastating plunder, and the food provided by the previous shogunate has been lost. Not to mention being robbed back, Tujia warriors from the four countries, wealthy businessmen, and the Qing family were also plundered. Anyone who dares to stop will be killed!

The devastating looting almost turned the two countries into ruins. There are cities and villages emitting black smoke everywhere. It is estimated that this time, the shogunate will not be popular again in Shikoku Island for hundreds of years.

But this kind of thing was done a lot by the big names in the Warring States Period. Anyway, everyone is not a local, and they may not come to your four countries in the future. What are you afraid of?Not only food, but also people's property, gold and silver jewelry, cloth, clothes, and even some warriors robbed several women in a row. Layers of clothing are looted.

The morale brought about by the looting is also obvious, because the restlessness and dissatisfaction of the army caused by the lack of food all vented out, and the eyes of the Japanese warriors who aroused the desire to kill began to turn red.

On April 10,000th, this bandit army finally summoned up its fighting spirit again. Like last time, the shogunate divided two [-]+ people into more than ten legions, and countless Japanese troops lined up in long formations, as if Fried dough sticks are stuffed into the Shikoku mountains like that.

This time, the Japanese were obviously well prepared!Standing on the lettuce-like Rilun Mountain and looking down, Scarface's scarred cheeks are obviously a lot more dignified. Wherever he looks, the Japanese army is neatly arranged in a strict formation, iron gunners, spearmen, Nodachi warriors, and then iron gunners, spearmen, and wild sword warriors. There are hundreds of densely packed large tubes, and there are guys with balls hanging from their waists and covered in black.

It seems that this time the Japanese are playing for real.

"Go forward and increase the number of fields, Shi Gao! How dare you retreat and confiscate all his property and all his glory! Behead him immediately! Want to become a new guardian, city lord, daimyo? Just kill enough heads of Ming people! General! Be stingy with rewards!"

In each army, the sergeant who led the team screamed desperately, and in the queue, the thickly dressed samurai also roared with red eyes. In the middle, the shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu built a He set up a huge platform to show that he stood with the warriors. Behind his military bench, the emblems of the 72 countries exuded a strange oppressive force against the rising sun.

After more than ten minutes of morale boosting, Tokugawa Iemitsu waved his military fan fiercely forward.

"Give me the duck and chicken!"

Just like in later anti-Japanese films, the leader of the devils swung his saber, and the devils below took the guns and went up without thinking!But this time there were too many people.

The iron gunners rushed to the front. These warriors wore the least amount of armor, so they ran to the front, scattered all over the mountains and plains, and first fired bullets at the positions of the beggar army to cover the attack.Immediately after, the Japanese army rushed forward, carrying wooden beds, pot lids, door panels, and samurai swords used as shields from the commoners' homes on Shikoku Island. The two wings outflank upwards, and once the battle starts, it will already be in full bloom!

"Damn, if only the cannons worked!"

Looking through the binoculars, Tokugawa Iemitsu, who was wearing a large armor, kept waving his military fan on the high raised platform, shouting to attack. Scarface put down the binoculars and muttered rather depressedly, and immediately he looked at him with serious eyes. The next wave: "Don't keep your hands, attack with all your strength, be sure to stop the Japanese at the foot of the mountain!"

"Send someone to tell the commander-in-chief that the whale has crashed into the door and needs a harpoon!"

Turning around to give another order to the soldiers, he also stepped on the sword with his scarred face, inserted three revolvers into the three holsters on the chest of the military uniform chain mail, and immediately walked down the hillside with a muffled grunt.

The landmines have been almost consumed. This time, before the enemy ran in, the beggar army on the mountain had already shot and sniped. The skirmishers with rifled rifles were placed at the front, holding iron cannons. The warriors charging forward were like dominoes, responding one by one, and fell in front of the battle line one after another.

However, the firepower of firearms in this era is far from enough to block the entire battlefield. After shooting and killing more than 200 iron gunners, the red-eyed Japanese samurai sword soldiers also killed within a distance of more than 40 meters. Not to mention, thick pot lids, bed board doors Covered with quilts, it does have an extremely powerful defense against firearms. Most of the bullets fired by them are stuck on these things, making crackling sounds, but they are not fully protected. These people charge, Still shaking violently one after another, he immediately fell down in the crowd and was trampled under his feet.

But even with the astonishing casualties, thousands of warriors still rarely rushed to a few meters in front of the trench. Here, the third wave of firefights related to the victory or defeat of the battle began again. The charging warriors lit one by one on the torches. The lead wire of the iron lump was thrown forward fiercely. At the same time, the begging army also pulled away the porcelain bottle grenade hanging from his waist, and fiercely swiped it out to the front of the formation.

At present, the Qihuo army can't make the complex grenade of later generations. They can only put thunder mercury and yellow gunpowder in a special porcelain bottle, and then throw the porcelain bottle out. The impact causes the two inner containers to be smashed by steel balls, achieving the effect of detonation , for the sake of transportation safety, even these two things can only be distributed before the battle, but the small effect is good.

Japanese guns filled with black powder exploded in the trench one after another. The explosive force was indeed not small. The beggars on the front line were knocked down by the bomb, and the blasting fragments hit many people's faces, arms, and hands with flesh and blood. Fuzzy, but few were actually killed. However, after the porcelain bottle grenade flew out, groups of Japanese soldiers within a few meters were blown away.

Seeing the continuous explosions, the muscles on Tokugawa Iemitsu's face twitched visibly and violently while sitting on the military bench. These are all Kanto warriors!His feet twitched a few times, and he waved his military fan fiercely forward again.

"Give me the duck and chicken!"

The explosion stopped the momentum of the charge. The dense charge formation and even the door panels covered with quilts were torn and smashed. However, the warriors who had been ordered to die rushed into the trench in panic.

He also shouted and stuck the bayonet into the muzzle of the gun, and the sergeants of the begging army also roared and greeted him, and then the soul-stirring white-knife saw red.

"kill!"

The samurai Gao Gaolun raised his samurai sword and slashed down ferociously. However, this powerful knife fell on the same hard cast iron barrel. The soldiers of the Qihuo Army, who had been trained for one hundred thousand assassinations, accurately stabbed the bayonet into his throat, drew the knife out, and spurted blood wildly.

With this squad bayonet tactic, even against the well-trained Japanese warriors, the begging army, which was at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, still did not lose the wind, and the warriors who rushed into the trench roaring like beasts were stabbed to death in the chest!buried in trenches.

However, the begging army was not without casualties. After all, there were too many Japanese soldiers. Fighting hard, a samurai sword came from behind, and a series of sparks were drawn on the hard chain mail. The words of the generals of the Qihuo army stuck in their backs, and the two armies inside and outside kept throwing grenades at each other. The Ming army above and the Japanese army below kept shooting at each other, and there were tragic deaths almost every second.

But after all, the begging army based on the modern army is stronger. Although it can't reach the British army in the later Opium Wars, with 2 casualties and more than 600, it defeated my Qing army of nearly 20, with more than 2 casualties. However, it is still possible to repel the Japanese army of this era. The fierce fighting lasted for seven or eight minutes.

"Damn it!"

The enemy's thigh hit the enemy, but Scarface seemed unhappy. Instead, he cursed resentfully, and then quickly and shamelessly got down. Right behind the Japanese army, hundreds of large tubes suddenly stood up, amidst the howling sound, One after another, the big fireworks hit the two mountains like lettuce, and the sparks flew everywhere.

His heart was bleeding. In this short first charge, at least 100 or [-] Kanto warriors fell on the ground. These were all supported by the Tokugawa family!Moreover, among those who returned from defeat, the leaders were all taken down, and their heads were chopped off on the spot. With a bang, more than [-] heads fell to the ground, and the muscles at the corners of their mouths twitched wildly, replacing Matsudaira's third army After resting aside, Tokugawa Iemitsu waved his military fan fiercely again.

"Give me the duck and chicken!"

This time, the first army of the Hosokawa family in Kumamoto and the fifth army of the Kuroda family in Fukuoka once again shouted and charged up the mountain. Seeing the densely packed Japanese army rushing forward, they could no longer hold back their scarred faces. yelled.

"Fire! Fire!"

The casualties caused by the Paobaoyu were not small. After suffering a big loss, the begging army moved out all the tiger squatting cannons. These old guys who had made great contributions to the Jiajing Anti-Japanese War, Once again, we had a close contact with our old opponent. Within 300 meters, lead bullets the size of pills roared and smashed into the door panels. With the sound of clattering, the Japanese soldiers behind the barrier fell one by one.

But even so, it didn't stop the madness of the Japanese army's charge forward. After paying a heavy price, the densely packed family warriors were stuffed into the trench again like bee chrysalis.

Another extremely bloody bayonet hit the red!
