Noda Yoshihiko couldn't help but tremble with fear when he saw Yan Yun's soldiers killing his own soldiers with blood and flesh flying everywhere, showing his unstoppable courage. Then he frowned, showing a fierce expression, and shouted strangely at an army on the left in Japanese. The leading samurai of that army immediately drew out his katana, raised it high, and shouted, and then the Japanese army rushed into the battlefield screaming.
Originally, the Japanese army was still on the verge of collapse under Yan Yunxiaorui's fierce charge, but the addition of this Japanese force changed this situation. The Japanese fought back desperately. After all, their strength was several times that of Yan Yun's army. They gradually stabilized their position and began to fight back! Yan Yun's army fought with all their might, until blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the riverbanks were covered with corpses. Their roars were like tigers, and their swords were like snow. They killed so much that the color of the sky and the earth changed, and the grass and trees were filled with sadness. They were as brave as demons and as fierce as evil ghosts! However, after all, the difference in military strength is too great, and it will be difficult to contain the deteriorating momentum of the war situation!
At the same time, Yanyun's follow-up troops were crossing the river, but after all, the river was blocking them, so their speed and scale were very limited. However, Japanese support troops continued to come from the hills. Under the circumstances, Yan Yunjun's situation became increasingly unfavorable!
However, the Japanese did not see ease at all. Standing on the mountain to watch the battle, Ueno Morinao saw that Yan Yun's soldiers were as brave as tigers, killing his own soldiers with corpses all over the fields and blood on the riverbanks. Although the troops were at an absolute disadvantage, they refused to retreat in the bloody battle and became braver as they fought! Ueno Mamoru couldn't help but tremble slightly. Although he didn't want to admit it, the flame of fear was burning in his chest! Taro Ryumoto on the side said with a pale face: "Yan Yunjun, it's so powerful, so scary!"
Ueno Mamoru frowned and shouted at Ryumoto Taro, "Are you scared?"
Taro Tatsumoto nodded subconsciously, then woke up and quickly looked at Ueno Morinao. Seeing Ueno Morinao's very angry look, he couldn't help but feel uneasy. Ueno Mamoru walked up to Tatsumotoro, slapped him hard four times, and shouted: "Yaga! You are a warrior of the Yamato nation, how can you be so cowardly!" Tatsumotoro cheered, feeling extremely ashamed. However, the fear of Yan Yunjun has not weakened at all.
Ueno Mamoru turned to look at the river battlefield, frowned, and said to Tatsumotoro: "You lead 30,000 troops under your command to support Noda Yoshihiko! You must not let the Yanyun army stand still!" Tatsumotoro shouted loudly, and immediately Ran down. A moment later, a 'torrent' surged from the mountain toward the river beach. It was none other than the 30,000 troops led by Taro Ryumoto. …
The fierce battle continued until dusk. The river beach was strewn with corpses, and the blood dyed the entire river beach a red color. The fierce battle is still going on. Although the Yan Yun army is in a very unfavorable situation, they are still fighting to the death. Everyone has turned into a bloody man with scars on their bodies. However, the roar is still shocking, and the flashing sword light is still shocking. Still unstoppable! The screams of the Japanese were heard one after another, and the exhausted Japanese offensive was obviously not as fierce as before!
A Japanese scout rushed up the mountain and rushed to Noda Yoshihiko's side. He said excitedly: "Sir, Lord Nobukawa's fleet is less than twenty miles away from here!"
Noda Yoshihiko was overjoyed, turned to look at the river where the bloody battle was still taking place, and murmured: "Twenty miles away, we can arrive in an hour!" Then he said to the two senior samurai beside him: "You also go down and help Noda Yoshihiko and Long Ben Taro, drive Yan Yun's army down the river in one go!" The two senior warriors cheered and ran down. The fresh force of the Japanese army joined the battlefield, and the Yanyun soldiers who fought bloody battles for almost a whole day were killed one after another. They were overwhelmed by the tide of Japanese troops one after another. The Yanyun army was about to be unable to withstand it!
At this moment, dozens of bamboo rafts landed on the shore, and then there was a roar like a thunderbolt from the blue! The two sides who were fighting in a bloody battle couldn't help but stop fighting. Looking out, the afterglow of the setting sun reflected an extremely majestic and mighty figure, which seemed to be the devil who suddenly descended on the world! The morale of Yanyun's army was greatly boosted, but the Japanese soldiers couldn't help but feel panicked! This demon-like general is none other than Xiang Danian, the commander of Yanyun’s First Legion! It turned out that Xiang Danian saw that his soldiers were about to be unable to resist, so he personally led a hundred of the most elite light cavalry across the Xuanhui River to support his troops!
Xiang Danian led a hundred cavalry into the middle of the Japanese, marching forward bravely, unstoppable! Xiang Danian wields his mace, causing blood to fly to those who block him. A hundred cavalrymen dance with their spears or brandish their swords, and those who block him are invincible! The other soldiers shouted and counterattacked fiercely. The Japanese army could not resist for a while and even retreated continuously.
Noda Yoshihiko and others were angry and anxious, and shouted at the top of their lungs to order the Japanese soldiers to fight hard and not to retreat! The Japanese soldiers fought back desperately and gradually stabilized their position. At this moment, another Yanyun warrior, Wanchun, led one hundred elites to join the battlefield. Wanchun and his one hundred elites were seen galloping among thousands of troops and horses, constantly bending their bows and shooting arrows. The surrounding Japanese soldiers were among them. Falling to the ground, it was a perfect shot!
When Ueno Mamoru saw that his own army was wavering, he was frightened and angry, and immediately prepared to lead his troops to reinforce in person.
At this moment, a lookout soldier suddenly pointed to the west and shouted: "Enemies! Enemies are coming from the west!" Ueno Morinao and others quickly looked in the direction of the lookout soldier's finger. Under the reflection of the setting sun, unexpectedly, A large army is rushing in from the west, with war cavalry in front and infantry behind, rolling like a tide, mighty and mighty! "What, what's going on?" Ueno Mori Nao exclaimed, losing his composure. Ueno Morinao did not expect this situation to occur at all. In fact, he fell into Kou Yan's plan. Kou Yan used his main force to attack the river frontally all day long, just to attract his attention. At the same time, the 60,000 soldiers and horses of the Seventh Army quietly built a pontoon bridge upstream to cross the Xuanhui River.
As soon as the 60,000 soldiers and horses of the Seventh Legion led by Li Tian and Qiuxia appeared on the battlefield, the Japanese soldiers were panicked. The seventh legion suddenly crashed into the flank of the Japanese army, charging and killing fiercely. The Japanese flank was in chaos, and they all turned around and ran backwards, disrupting the entire army at once. The army became confused, and everyone ran around with the crowd. The fierce fighting spirit disappeared in an instant, and he ran away in terror like a headless fly. Yan Yun's army was chasing after him, their blades ruthless, causing blood to rain all over the sky.
Ueno Morunao couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that his army of more than 100,000 people had completely collapsed, and the mountains were full of wolves and wolves. After coming back to his senses, he ignored his fear and hurriedly ordered all the troops on the mountain to prepare for the attack.
Yanyun's army defeated the 100,000 Japanese troops at the foot of the mountain in one fell swoop, and then Li Tian led a cavalry force of 10,000 steps to attack the mountain. In one fell swoop, he broke down the first line of defense at the foot of the mountain, and then rushed towards the second line of defense. At this moment, there was a loud rumbling sound from the mountain, and rolling rocks and trees poured down like a torrent. At the same time, arrows fell like raindrops. Yan Yun's army suffered heavy losses, and when they saw that they could not charge forward, they temporarily retreated.
Only one of the Seventh Army was left to monitor the Japanese troops on the hill, while the main force went to chase and wipe out the fleeing enemy; at the same time, the Yanyun First Army on the north bank began to build a pontoon bridge on the river, while the Sixth Army moved eastward. , arranged on two highlands on the river bank, ready to block the Japanese fleet. Yanyun also received a message from the scouts and knew that the Japanese fleet was about to arrive.
Soon after, the sky was completely dark, and under the light of the stars and moon, a huge fleet of ships meandered up from the downstream. Noda Yoshihiko was very excited when he saw this, but then a question arose. Now that the river beach has been lost, how can we break through the encirclement of Yanyun Army and withdraw through the fleet?
Noda Yoshihiko frowned and felt that instead of sitting back and waiting for death, it would be better to fight to the death and simply lead the entire army to break out to the river and escape as many as possible. As soon as I thought about this, I was ready to give the order. However, at this moment, there was a huge explosion on the river in the distance, and then several balls of flames rose up in the fleet, and screams and shouts came along the river wind.
Noda Yoshihiko was taken aback and didn't know what happened for a moment. Looking carefully, he found that something was wrong. At the end of this huge fleet, he saw a much smaller fleet. The ship was clearly shaped like Yan Yun's cruiser. The bow of the cruiser kept spitting out fire dragons, and then Water columns burst into the sky in our own large fleet. It was obvious that the Yanyun cruiser was chasing and bombarding our own fleet!
Noda Yoshihiko saw this situation clearly and was horrified. He didn't know what to do for a moment! When Yan Yunjun discovered this situation, he was pleasantly surprised.
The Japanese fleet fled upstream in a hurry, without caring about the surrounding situation, and suddenly ran into the ambush of the Sixth Army. In an instant, countless torches lit up on the shore, turning the night into day. The Japanese on the boat were shocked when they suddenly saw such a scene! Immediately, dense rain of fire fell, illuminating the entire river! The rocket landed on the sail and immediately ignited the sail. The fire spread quickly, and the boat instantly turned into a huge bonfire burning in the river! As the Sixth Army concentrated its firepower to attack the ships at the front, within a short while, many of the ships at the front of the fleet burst into flames. The Japanese sailors jumped into the water to escape, and the burning ships were spinning in the river and drifting down the river. The ships behind them saw He was so frightened that he quickly turned to dodge!
However, the Xuanhui River is just a small river, and the river is very narrow, far less than the big rivers. With so many ships crowded into the river, it is already very crowded. Now the ships hurriedly turned to avoid the fire ships, and many ships collided with each other in an instant! Then the fire ship rushed down with the waves, bumped into many ships, and set many ships on fire. Like this, like dominoes, not long after, a long section of the river was blazing with fire, countless large boats were burning, and the river seemed to be boiling. There were countless Japanese and Koreans jumping into the water to escape!
Ueno Mamoru stared at the burning fleet with wide eyes, and he was shocked! Not only him, but all the Japanese soldiers were also stunned, and then infinite fear surged into their hearts, because they knew that if the entire fleet was wiped out, they who were trapped on the hill would really become caged birds. Son, I can’t fly out!
Wang Rong, who was dressed in a military uniform and had a wheat-colored skin that looked like a female pirate, led a group of navy officers and escorted a middle-aged Japanese who was wet and swaying in embarrassment to Kou Yan and others. He cupped his fists and said, "Master Kou! Generals!" Everyone responded with a salute, and Kou Yan laughed and said, "I didn't expect the navy to come. It's such an unexpected surprise!"
Wang Rong said: "We were originally chasing the Japanese fleet, but suddenly we received a report that there was a huge Japanese fleet outside Yanshan, so I led a fleet and came!"
Kou Yan nodded and said: "I see." Then he smiled and said: "The general came at the right time!" Wang Rong said with a smile: "I think you have already prepared it. Even without us, dealing with them is a piece of cake!" Everyone laughed.
Wang Rong ordered the embarrassed middle-aged Japanese to be escorted up, and said to Kou Yan: "This is our prisoner. At that time, this guy's boat actually tried to rush out, but was blown to pieces by our cruiser! This guy and many Japanese fell into the water. We captured him! I saw this guy looked like a leader, so I brought him here!"
Kou Yan looked at the Japanese man, and the Japanese man's eyes widened, and he jabbered a few Japanese words loudly. No one understood the Japanese language, but seeing his ferocious look, they knew that what he said was definitely not a good thing. The commander of the First Army, Ma Kuang, kicked him in the abdomen and yelled: "You bitch! It's not honest to be a prisoner!" The Japanese fell to the ground, huddled up, with a look of pain on his face. It can be seen that Ma Kuang's kick was really cruel; the Japanese was very tyrannical just now, but now he is He showed a look of fear and didn't dare to scream anymore!
When everyone saw his appearance, they all showed contempt. Ma Yan let out a sigh and cursed: "What the hell, I thought these people were really not afraid of death. They were just pretending for a long time! Damn it, It’s so boring!”
Kou Yan ordered some university sergeants who knew Japanese to be sent by Yang Peng from Yanjing not long ago. Several non-commissioned officers arrived and saluted Kou Yan and the generals. Kou Yan pointed at the Japanese man who was still curled up on the ground and said, "Ask this guy about his identity."
One of the sergeants immediately asked in Japanese: "What is your identity?"
The Japanese frowned and said nothing. The sergeant asked twice, but the Japanese never spoke. The sergeant didn't know what to do and looked at Kou Yan. Kou Yan said coldly: "Since you don't want to say it, it's useless. Drag it down and chop it!" The sergeant was very obedient and immediately translated these words into Japanese.
The Japanese showed fear. Two soldiers stepped forward, picked up the Japanese man, and dragged him outside. The Japanese man's expression seemed to collapse, and he suddenly screamed loudly and struggled desperately. The sergeant immediately translated: "He is begging for mercy, please forgive him!"
Kou Yan smiled coldly and said sarcastically: "General Ma Kuang is right, you Japanese can only pretend!" Then he said to the two soldiers holding the Japanese, "Let him go!" The two soldiers let go. He, he slumped to the ground, looking very depressed and depressed. Kou Yan said to the sergeant: "I want him to explain his identity." The sergeant immediately spoke to the Japanese in Japanese. The Japanese man looked up at Kou Yan and mumbled something. The sergeant immediately translated: "He said his name is Shinkawa Yuichi, and he is the commander of the Japanese fleet."
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this. Kou Yan smiled at Wang Rong and said: "The general has caught a big fish!" Wang Rong joked: "It's just a big fish, otherwise how could it be fished out of the river!" Everyone couldn't help but laugh. laugh it out. When Xinchuan You saw everyone laughing, he felt extremely ashamed. However, his poor dignity had been completely destroyed and he could not even think of resisting.
Kou Yan looked at Xinchuan Yu and asked: "How many troops do you Japanese plan to send out? What is your detailed plan? You'd better tell the truth. We will confirm it to others. If you tell lies, we will cut off your Arms! Tell a lie and cut off one arm. Say two words and cut off both arms. If you tell four words, humph, your hands and feet will be gone!" The sergeant translated these words. Nobukawa Yuichi showed a very frightened look and said repeatedly in Japanese: "I will definitely tell the truth, I will definitely tell the truth!"
Kou Yan thought he couldn't ask clearly for a while, so he ordered someone to temporarily detain Xinchuan Yuyi, hoping to interrogate him in detail later.
Wang Rong clasped his fists towards Kou Yan and said, "If you don't have any instructions, I will lead the fleet to support my brother!" Kou Yan said quickly: "General, don't worry, I still need the general's help!"
…
Ueno Mamoru was pacing back and forth in the big tent, looking very agitated, and at the same time there was infinite fear in his heart. This time is no different than in Goryeo. Although Goryeo was defeated, it was surrounded by its own army, so there was nothing to worry about. But now it is trapped in the enemy's place, and it is besieged by the enemy's superior force. I think It’s so hard to get away!
A low-level samurai rushed in and reported; "Sir, Lord Tatsumoto, Lord Noda is back!"
Ueno Mamoru was very surprised when he heard this. He quickly looked towards the door and saw two people running in. I took a closer look and was surprised. It was Taro Tatsumoto and Yoshihiko Noda who came in. However, both of them looked extremely embarrassed. Their helmets were missing, their faces were stained, and their bodies were scarred. There was no trace of the noble appearance of a high-ranking samurai. They were obviously dead. Came back after escaping.
The two men commanded together and said with shame on their faces: "Sir, we have been defeated..."
Ueno Mamoru frowned and asked, "Are you two just back?" The two nodded. Ueno Morinao almost fainted. In his excitement, he shouted loudly: "My one hundred thousand army, my one hundred thousand army!"
Taro Ryumoto said with lingering fear: "The fighting power of the Yanyun Army is really terrible! No matter how we attack, we can't defeat them. However, they counterattacked in a big way, but our army couldn't resist it at all. It was really a crushing defeat!" "Yoshihiko Noda always likes to boast, but at this moment, he can't say even a single word of boasting. He swallowed his saliva and remembered the scene when he was trapped in the opponent's thousands of troops. He felt like he was reincarnated!
Ueno Mamoru frowned and murmured: "The strength of the Yanyun Army is really impressive! Rumor has it that the Yanyun Army is the master of tigers and wolves, the best in the world. I didn't believe it at first, but now I have to I believe it! With equal strength, no one can compete with the Yanyun Army!" The reason why he said this was that he was really impressed by the strength of the Yanyun Army, and he was also trying to excuse himself. I mean, since the Yanyun Army is unparalleled in the world, it is understandable that Ueno Mamoru was defeated when his troops were evenly matched, and it is not a shameful thing!
Taro Tatsumoto and Yoshihiko Noda nodded in sympathy. Taro Tatsumoto remembered something and asked, "Sir, when we came up, we saw flames rolling on the river in the distance. I wonder what happened?"
Ueno Morinao couldn't help but sigh and said, "That's Lord Nobikawa's fleet!" Although Taromoto Taro and Yoshihiko Noda had expected it, they were still surprised when they heard this. The two of them panicked, and Noda Yoshihiko said: "What can we do! Without Lord Nobikawa's fleet, we, we can't go back!" After hearing this, Ueno Mamoru was very unhappy, but there was nothing he could do about it. What to accuse him of. Taro Ryumoto frowned and said: "Now we have to take advantage of the opportunity before Yanyun's large army crosses the river, break out south, and join Heping Zhongsheng!"
Noda Yoshihiko said: "This is impossible, we have to travel through the entire Shandong!"
Taro Ryumoto said: "There is no main force of Yanyun in Shandong. Now Pingchong Sheng's army should have arrived in Qingzhou. I think Pingchong Sheng would want to occupy Qingzhou as a foothold. We can join them and then find a way. ."
Ueno Mamoru thought about it for a while and felt that what Tatsumoto Taro said made sense. He nodded and said to the two of them: "Without further delay, you go down and assemble the army immediately!" The two agreed.
At this moment, a loud thunderous noise suddenly came. Ueno Morinao and the other three were caught off guard and were startled. Ueno Morinao exclaimed, "What's going on?" Taro Tatsumoto frowned and said, "It sounds like the sound of a cannon..." As if in response to his words, the sound was like thunder. The loud noise was so loud that it made people's eardrums numb, and the earth under their feet shook! Suddenly, a strong storm blew up the tent, and Ueno Morunao and others were horrified and fell to the ground one after another. At this time, flames were rolling on the hill, the Japanese soldiers were running around in fear, and the broken limbs were flying in the sky!
Noda Yoshihiko shouted in horror: "What, what is going on?!" Ueno Morinao suddenly felt something in his heart and shouted angrily: "It's the Yanyun Navy, it must be the Yanyun Navy!" He was right. , it is indeed the Yanyun navy that is bombarding the hill. The hill is right next to the Xuanhui River, so the Yanyun navy can bombard them with full firepower!
The Japanese were stunned by the fierce artillery fire from Yanyun Navy and suffered heavy casualties. Ueno Morinao felt that bombing alone was not an option, so he ordered all armies to break out to the south immediately. The Japanese were already frightened by Yanyun's artillery fire. With this order, the whole hill was in chaos. Each Japanese army team rushed down the mountain desperately, and the whole thing was in chaos. Ueno Mamoru wanted to restrain the army at this moment. I’m afraid it’s no longer possible!
The Japanese troops poured down the mountain like a tide and ran towards the south. At this moment, Yan Yun's frightening war drum sound like a demonic army suddenly came from the front! The Japanese soldiers were horrified, and they stopped and looked forward. They saw a Yanyun army of thousands of people standing in front of them!
After all, what happened next will be explained later.
