There were screams and screams, and blood instantly covered the pit. The Japanese who were not yet dead were still struggling under the pit, which made people feel their scalp numb and frightened. Because the pit appeared too suddenly. , the Japanese soldiers behind did not know what was happening, and still rushed forward. The Japanese soldiers at the front of the pit screamed, and were squeezed into the pit, so there was a lot more meat on the spears and bamboo sticks. string!
Just when the Japanese soldiers were frightened by the unexpected situation in front of them, they knew it. Two teams of hundreds of Ming Dynasty warriors suddenly came from the hillsides on both sides and rushed into the middle of the Japanese, causing a rain of blood all over the sky. The Japanese were in panic when they were suddenly hit by such a violent attack. They were frightened and fled down the mountain one after another. The Ming army pursued them all the way, with ruthless swords and axes, just like the god of death reaping lives. The Japanese soldiers who were slow to escape became the dead souls of the Ming Dynasty warriors!
The Japanese attack failed again. Yamamoto Yoshiryu was ashamed, while Zuoshio Shigeo was extremely angry and shouted: "Yamato's warriors, seven or eight thousand people can't defeat a few hundred of them! It's too embarrassing, it's really too embarrassing Come on!" Yamamoto Rulong and others simply wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into. Yamamoto Rulong shouted excitedly: "General, please give me another chance. If I still can't defeat the enemy this time, I am willing to disembowel myself and apologize!"
Zuo Shigeo snorted and said angrily: "If you fail again, won't we lose more precious samurai in vain!" Yamamoto Ryū felt ashamed and asked again: "Please give me a chance! "
Zuoshiro Shigeo thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you another chance." Yamamoto Ryū was overjoyed and thanked him, and immediately led his team to continue the attack.
Zuoshi Shigeo shouted: "Wait a minute!" Yamamoto Yoshiryu bowed and asked: "What are the instructions from the general?"
Zuoshi Shigeo looked at the Ming Dynasty position on the mountain and frowned: "The enemy is very strong and well prepared. If you don't have enough psychological preparation, it will be difficult to win, and you will only waste precious warriors!" Yamamoto Ryū Not knowing what to do, he bowed and said: "Please tell me!"
Zuoshiro Shigeo looked at the Ming Dynasty position and thought: "The enemy has very few troops. If we divide into three parts and attack from three hillsides at the same time, they will definitely lose sight of one thing and lose the other. Our possibility of success will be much higher!" Yamamoto Yūryu's eyes lit up! , said gratefully: "Thank you for your advice!"
Zuoshi Shigeo said to Yamamoto Yoryu: "Wait a moment." "Hi." Yamamoto Yoryu bowed and agreed. Zuoshiro Shigeo said to the logistics officer: "Immediately send someone to wrap our gunpowder into enemy's gunpowder packets, and then take them over and give them to Yamamoto-kun." The logistics officer gave a cheer and ran down. Yamamoto Yinlong said excitedly: "Thank you, Your Excellency! With these gunpowder packets, I will definitely be able to annihilate the enemy and capture the enemy's position!" Zuo Shigeo nodded and said to Yamamoto Yinlong: "After the war, I will report to your highness for you. Please take credit!" Yamamoto Ryū was very excited and bowed: "Thank you for your promotion!"
Zuoshiro Shigeo thought for a while and said: "The enemy is not easy to deal with. We have to use the enemy's tactics to deal with them. After you get close, throw gunpowder packets to kill and disrupt the enemy. Then you take advantage of the chaos and rush up. First, you must first They overturned, so it will be easier to deal with!" Yamamoto Rulong nodded.
Not long after, the logistics officer led his men up, bowed to Sasuro Shigeo and said: "Your Excellency, hundreds of gunpowder packets have been made according to your request." Sasuro Shigeo pointed to Yamamoto Yoshiryu, "Give it to Yamamoto-kun." The logistics officer cheered, and immediately ordered his men to hand over hundreds of gunpowder bags to Yamamoto Rulong's men, saying: "When using it, just light the gunpowder bag and throw it out." Yamamoto Rulong nodded, bowed to Zuoshi Shigeo: "Your Excellency, please watch how we annihilate the enemy and seize the position! I will not let Yamato's glory be tarnished!" Zuoshi Shigeo nodded, "Go. Let's go!" Yamamoto Rulong cheered, turned around and shouted to the samurai and ashigaru under his command: "Yamato warriors, you are invincible! Use your samurai swords to chop off the heads of the Han people, and let Yamato conquer The flag is flying in the wind!" The samurai and ashigaru suddenly became excited and howled.
Yamamoto Yūryu divided his samurai and ashigaru into three teams. He led the main force to attack frontally, and the other two teams respectively ordered a mid-level samurai to lead a cover from the north and south. Yamamoto Rulong felt that the enemy had already revealed all his cards, and this attack would be a success.
Yamamoto Rulong led his soldiers and horses to run towards the mountain. When he was halfway up the mountain, he suddenly saw more than twenty cannons suddenly withdrawing from the Ming Dynasty position on the mountain. The muzzles of the guns were tilted downwards and pointed towards themselves. Yamamoto Ryū was shocked. Shigeo Zushima, who was watching the battle from behind, was also shocked.
Yamamoto Ryū raised his katana and howled: "Charge! Charge!" He rushed into the enemy's position before the opponent's cannon could unleash its power. The Japanese soldiers shouted and rushed towards the mountain with all their strength.
At this moment, there was only a huge sound of booming and booming, and the wind was howling in the ears. The cannonballs flew into the middle of the Japanese, smashing the Japanese's flesh and blood everywhere. Then there was a violent explosion, and all the broken limbs were scattered in the sky. Fly! One volley of Yanyun artillery fire caused heavy losses to the Japanese!
The Japanese roared and continued to charge. He rushed to the Ming Dynasty's position before the second round of Ming Dynasty artillery fire! This is one of the disadvantages of artillery in this era. Reloading and firing after shelling takes a lot of time, which is really crazy!
When Yamamoto saw the enemy's trench not far ahead, he couldn't help but get excited and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Throw the gunpowder packets!"
Those Ashigaru who were carrying the gunpowder packets lit the powder packets and threw them out. The burning powder packets fell one after another inside and outside the station. In an instant, the flames rolled and the entire trench was submerged. Many Ming soldiers were injured in the ambush in the first trench, so they quickly abandoned the first trench and pushed to the second trench.
Seeing that the Ming army had been forced back, Yamamoto Ryū couldn't help being very excited, and immediately led his army to charge forward. In an instant, the large Japanese troops rushed to the first trench.
At this moment, the Ming Dynasty artillery showed its power again! There was only a loud rumbling sound and smoke and dust billowing from the position. The Japanese soldiers were shocked to see countless objects flying towards them in dense masses! Before the Japanese soldiers could react, there were crackling sounds and screams among the Japanese soldiers. The Japanese warriors and ashigaru fell down like seedlings in the wind, a scene of sudden and brutal destruction! It turned out that this time the Daming artillery fired not the traditional solid shells and blooming shells, but a large bag of iron nails wrapped in tissue paper and fired out. This turned the cannon into a huge shotgun. Under the salvo, the power almost completely enveloped the entire front of the position! The Japanese did not expect that the Ming army would use cannons like this. They were caught off guard and their soldiers and horses were completely exposed to the power of the cannons, causing heavy casualties! But those who were lucky enough to escape were horrified and yelled like crazy!
The war drums of the Ming Dynasty rang loudly, and the warriors of the Ming Dynasty came out bravely, jumped out of the second trench, rushed into the middle of the Japanese, and killed them! In an instant, only flesh and blood were seen flying everywhere! A Japanese warrior suddenly reacted and was shocked to see that his right arm had been cut off. He couldn't help shouting in fear. The Ming Dynasty soldier in front of him slashed it with his sword. The warrior's head immediately split in two, and his brains burst out. , the shouting suddenly stopped!
Ashigaru collapsed first, abandoned his weapons and fled. Then the warriors could not resist and retreated one after another. At the same time, the Japanese troops attacking from the north and south also retreated. It turned out that the north and south sides were much steeper than the east side, making it difficult to move. When the Japanese attacked, the Ming army kept throwing thunderbolts from the mountains. The Japanese could not reach the Ming position and suffered heavy casualties. When the Japanese attacked from the east, After the main force retreated, the Japanese who attacked from the north and the south also retreated. This round of Japanese attacks ended in failure. But this time, Yamamoto Yinlong does not have to apologize to Zuo Shigeo, because he has been turned into a hornet's nest by Ming artillery fire in the battle just now, and has become a hornet's nest like many of his samurai and ashigaru. A bloody corpse.
This round of defeat had a heavy blow to the morale of the Japanese, and almost all samurai and ashigaru showed fear. Seeing this situation, Zuoshi Shigeo knew that there was no way to continue fighting today, so he had no choice but to order a suspension of the attack, and the army retreated several miles to the stronghold to rest and fight again.
As night falls, bonfires are lit in the Japanese camp, and hometown tunes from all over the Japanese country are heard one after another, floating in the camp. Gradually, the singing fell silent, and the Japanese soldiers fell asleep.
At this time, the lights were still on in the big tent, and Zuoshiro Shigeo was looking at the map and thinking about tomorrow's attack strategy. He focused his gaze on the east hillside, frowned tightly, and murmured: "The enemy knows that this is the main direction of attack, and the defense is tight. Moreover, the power of the enemy's artillery is really amazing. He wants to break through the enemy's position from this direction. It's really difficult! Even if we can finally break through, we will definitely suffer heavy losses!" Then his eyes moved to the north and south, his brows still furrowed tightly, feeling that attacking from the north and south would be more difficult than attacking from the east.
Zuoshi Shigeo couldn't help but become anxious, feeling that if he couldn't capture Haikou quickly, he wouldn't be able to explain it to His Highness! Try your best to calm down and continue to look at the map and think. My eyes moved around in the east, south and north directions, but I couldn't think of a good solution at all. Zuo Shigeo couldn't help but become agitated again. At this moment, Zuo Shigeo's eyes inadvertently moved to the west that he had not noticed before. Zuo Shichengxiong's expression changed. It faces the sea to the west. I have never noticed it, and the Han people must not have noticed it either! As soon as he thought of this, Zuo Shichengxiong became excited!
Zuoshiro Shigeo murmured: "If we launch a surprise attack quietly from the sea at night with all our troops and horses, the enemy will definitely be surprised and caught off guard! I will take advantage of their chaos and attack from the front with my troops, and I will definitely wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop." , occupy the position!" Then he thought about this plan over and over again, and felt that the success rate of this plan was indeed very high. He couldn't help but get very excited, and immediately shouted: "Come here!"
No one responded. Zuo Shichengxiong frowned, felt a little displeased, and shouted again. I saw figures shaking at the door, and several warriors came in.
Zuoshi Chengxiong said: "Gather all the high-ranking warriors to me immediately."
Several warriors cheered, and one of them suddenly raised his right hand. He actually held a steel crossbow in his right hand. Zuo Shichengxiong was startled. He only heard the sound of a bowstring, and a shadowless figure flew towards him. Zuo Shichengxiong was so frightened that he rolled on the ground in a hurry. When he heard the arrow, he flew over his head. If there was even a slight difference, he would be doomed!
The samurai suddenly pulled out their samurai swords, rushed forward, and slashed at Shigeo Sasuro before he could even get up. Zuoshiro Shigeo rolled on the spot, in an extremely embarrassed state, but managed to avoid being slashed by several samurai swords. He rolled back and stood up, pulled out his samurai sword, gave a sharp shout, and stepped forward to fight with the opponent. The three samurai and Sauromo were fighting together. Sauromo's martial arts skills were obviously better than those of his opponents. However, with the three of them joining forces, Sauromo was unable to win for a while.
After fighting for more than ten moves, Zuoshiro Shigeo saw a flaw in the three opponents. He immediately stepped forward and dodged the attack of the samurai on the left. At the same time, he slashed the samurai in front of the head with his katana! The samurai was shocked, but at the critical moment, he managed to dodge to one side. The katana in Zuo Shigeo's hand failed to split the opponent's head as expected, but instead hit his left shoulder! The katana was deeply embedded in his body, as if that side of his body was about to be removed!
However, the opponent's bravery greatly exceeded Zuo Shizuo's expectations. He was so seriously injured that he did not fall down, and even swung his samurai sword to chop off Zuo Shizuo's right arm. Zuo Shizuo was so shocked that he didn't even bother to withdraw his katana. He quickly let go of his katana and rolled backwards, narrowly avoiding the opponent's almost certain blow! Zuoshi Nariyo had just calmed down from the shock, but the other two samurai had already rushed forward, their samurai swords flashing with cold light and slashing at Zuoshi Narioshi, extremely fierce!
Zuo Shichengxiong was so frightened that he crawled and ran away from the tent. In fact, his martial arts skills were enough to defeat three warriors, and it was even less problematic to defeat two. However, he was overwhelmed by the momentum of the warrior just now. At this moment, he was frightened. There is no fighting spirit left, I just want to escape from danger!
Zuoshiro Shigeo escaped from the tent in embarrassment, and was shocked to find that many places in the military camp were blazing with flames, and the flames lit up the entire night sky. At the same time, samurai and ashigaru were running around to put out the fire. It was a mess, and among the screams and shouts, screams were heard from time to time. Zuo Shichengxiong was startled and felt at a loss.
At this time, the two warriors chased him out of the tent and came to kill him. Zuoshiro Shigeo hurriedly ran toward the group of samurai and ashigaru not far away, shouting as he ran: "Assassins! There are assassins!" The surrounding samurai and ashigaru heard the shouts and looked over, only to see The two samurai were chasing the general and running away in a panic. At this time, the situation was in chaos. For a moment, these samurai and the ashigaru didn't even think of going to rescue their shogun. They just looked on stupidly!
It wasn't until their general was in danger under the attack of the two warriors that some warriors reacted and rushed forward with shouts.
When the two samurai saw that they could not kill Shigeo Zuoshiro and that the chance had been lost, they immediately turned around and rushed between the flames and the followers, and lost sight of them in the blink of an eye.
Zuoshi Chengxiong had just calmed down from the shock, and then he was filled with anger. He slapped a warrior next to him fiercely and cursed: "Baga!" The warrior shouted loudly and stood at attention.
Zuo Shichengxiong saw the chaos in the entire military camp and couldn't help but feel fear in his heart. However, he soon discovered that although the situation in the military camp was chaotic, it was almost all his own people who were messing with his own people, and there was no sound of enemy troops. Shigeo Zuoshiro immediately judged that this must be a small group of enemy troops sneaking into the camp to cause damage, and it was not a large group of enemy troops. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel relieved. I immediately ordered some soldiers and horses to put out the fire, ordered another group of soldiers and horses to be on alert, and then sent out scouts to monitor the surrounding situation of the military camp. The chaotic situation in the military camp gradually calmed down.
Left room Shigeo asked people to count the losses. Soon after, reports came in that one-third of the food and supplies had been destroyed, and many tents in the military camp had been destroyed. Thousands of soldiers were killed or wounded, including more than a hundred warriors. When Zuoshiro Shigeo heard that the losses were so great, he couldn't help but feel crazy, and vowed in his heart to make the Han people pay a heavy price for what they did today.
Zuoshi Shigeo summoned all the senior samurai and revealed his counterattack plan.
The senior warriors immediately took action. Some prepared ordnance and weapons, while others took advantage of the darkness to go outside the military camp to cut down trees and make bamboo rafts.
During the day the next day, Zuoshiro Shigeo led the army to challenge at the foot of the mountain, but he did not launch a strong attack like yesterday. Seeing that the enemy did not attack, the Ming army was happy and relaxed. They turned a deaf ear to the Japanese challenge and did not respond at all. The day passed in such a dull and boring atmosphere.
In the middle of the night, Shigeo Zuoshiro was concerned that most of the Ming army on the mountain had fallen asleep, so he immediately ordered senior samurai Sho Sakurai to launch a raid. Sakurai Sho immediately took the order, ran out of the tent, led thousands of samurai and ashigaru under his command, ran into a harbor branch not far from the seaport, and drove the bamboo rafts he had made last night out of the harbor branch. Sail quietly towards Haikou. In order not to let the Ming army notice, Sakurai Sho and others did not light a torch, and everyone just relied on the dim starlight to row towards the Oyahaikou. Looking up the mountain from the sea, I saw only a few sparks on the mountain but no sound. Sakurai Sho was worried that the Ming army on the mountain would hear the movement, so he ordered all bamboo rafts to further reduce their speed.
Slowly, slowly, the troops led by Sakurai Sho continued to approach Haikou. Finally, they entered the seaport and landed on the shore. The west side of the Ming Dynasty's position was also very steep, just like the slopes on the north and south sides. Sakurai Sho led his troops to climb hard and slowly among the shrubs and rocks.
Suddenly, a warrior's foot slipped, and a lot of gravel rolled down from his feet, making a crashing sound. Everyone immediately became nervous, stopped moving quickly, held their breath, and looked up at the mountain, with their hearts in their throats, fearing that they would see Ming soldiers coming.
After waiting for a while, no one came over. The mountain was still very quiet and there was nothing unusual. The Ming army should not have noticed the situation here. Sakurai Xiang couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and continued to climb up the mountain. Seeing that Sakurai Sho had moved again, other Japanese soldiers also took action again. This time, everyone was extra careful to ensure that there were no mistakes. Every step was taken firmly before taking the next step. Thousands of Japanese soldiers Then he slowly approached the dizzy position on the west hillside.
Finally, they reached the top of the mountain and saw many bonfires burning in the Ming camp. Patrols were patrolling back and forth. The trenches on the east side of the camp were criss-crossed. The light of the torches turned that area into daylight, and many Ming sentry stations could be seen. Be alert at heights. The Ming army's security was tight, but they only missed the west side.
Sakurai Sho was extremely excited and ordered each team in a low voice to act according to the original plan. A dozen warriors immediately relied on the cover of darkness to head towards the gate of the camp. There are only two sentries by the gate of the west village. One of them stands under the gate of the village, and his eyes are looking to the east most of the time. A dozen warriors rushed to the village gate. At this time, the sentry on the village gate turned his head, but the dozen warriors had already reached the blind spot of his vision, and he saw nothing. Then he turned his head and looked east.
The leading warrior looked at the sentry inside the door and gestured to the two warriors beside him. The two warriors nodded and walked gently behind the sentry. Then they helped each other and climbed over the fence gently without making any sound. The two of them entered the camp, hunched over and quietly walked toward the sentry by the door. They both held their breath as they kept getting closer. Arriving behind the sentry, a warrior suddenly jumped up like a cheetah, grabbed the sentry's neck with his right hand, and covered the sentry's mouth and nose with his left hand. The sentry was suddenly attacked. He was shocked and immediately struggled to resist. The warrior suddenly felt that he could not catch him and was greatly frightened. At this moment, another warrior ran up and slit the sentry's throat with a knife. The sentry's eyes widened and he soon lost consciousness.
The two men gently put the sentry's body down, and then moved toward the corridor above the village gate. He cautiously poked his head half out and saw the sentry walking back and forth in the corridor. When the sentry turned around, the two warriors quickly ran up the corridor and ran towards the sentry. The warrior at the head hugged the sentry's neck, mouth and nose, turned around suddenly, and the two fell down on the corridor together. The warrior was below, holding the sentry tightly with his hands and feet. Although the sentry was strong and strong, he was unable to struggle for a moment when his body was held by the opponent like this. His eyes widened and he was very anxious. He wanted to break away from the enemy and call the police, but he couldn't! At this time, another samurai ran up and raised his samurai sword to cut his throat open. The cold light flashed under the starlight!
At this critical moment, the sentry raised his right foot and kicked towards the warrior in front of him. A kick hit his lower abdomen, and the warrior screamed in surprise. He couldn't control his whole body and rolled backwards and fell down the corridor with a bang. The other samurai was shocked when he saw this. He immediately freed his right hand, pulled out his kodachi, and stabbed the sentry in the waist.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
