Miyama, the samurai leader of the Hatakeyama clan, after receiving orders from the Hatakeyama clan, led 500 samurai and more than a thousand main force to the east bank of Qingchuan Bridge. Through the moonlight, he saw the melee on the other side of Qingchuan Bridge and saw the constant falling on Qingchuan Bridge. The shogunate in the river!
"No matter who the enemy is, we must guard Qingchuan Bridge! Even if the jade is broken here, we cannot let the enemy cross the river!"
Sanshan issued an order to defend Qingchuan Bridge, and the most powerful warriors began to take over Qingchuan Bridge. However, the crowding, pushing, and chaotic bridgehead made it impossible for this group of people to enter the bridge.
So the samurai started killing people.
Only by killing all the people on the bridge and on the bridge can the samurai face the enemy! Otherwise, this group of remnant soldiers with no fighting spirit driven over by the enemy will overwhelm the samurai's defense, leaving the samurai with no place to stand, let alone attack.
Sanshan requires that the Qingchuan Bridge not be lost, so the enemy must be stopped on the bridge.
So, all die.
Even if it was one of his own, Sanshan gave the order to kill him.
A strange scene occurred at Qingchuan Bridge. The Ming army on the west side of the bridge was killing Japanese soldiers, and the samurai on the east side of the bridge were also killing Japanese soldiers. The Japanese soldiers sandwiched in the middle of the bridge became the most helpless group of people. They had to jump into the river. Die or be killed.
Zhuang De commanded the sergeants, and rows of sergeants took out the squatting tiger cannons and hammered the ground nails. The gunpowder cartridge boxes were already opened, and the gunpowder cartridges were taken out neatly, ready to be loaded at any time.
The fire gun sergeants were divided into two teams, one squatting and the other standing. The lead and gunpowder had been filled, and they were only waiting for a shot to be fired.
In the gap between the squatting cannons in front, there were more than twenty-eight oxen crossbows, and the crossbow arrows were turned towards the entrance to the east of the bridge.
call out!
A whistle arrow rose into the sky.
Chu Zhi glanced up and urged the sergeant in front: "Hurry up and attack, Zhuang De starts to urge! Kill!"
kill!
The Ming Dynasty sergeant in front wielded his long sword and chopped down the Japanese one by one.
But the Japanese troops in front were crowded, and even if they had no resistance, it would still take a certain amount of time to be massacred!
Zhuang De didn't give Chu Zhi any more time.
What Chu Zhi saw was that the bridge had not yet been conquered, and he could not see the massacre and attack of the warriors on the bridge on the east side. Zhuang De could see it, so soon the second sentry arrow flew up.
With no other option, Chu Zhi ordered the sergeant to take off the push shield. The sergeant moved closer and set up push shields in the left and right river areas and in front.
Following a burst of rapid drum beats, like the beating of raindrops, a deafening sound exploded. Rows of squatting tiger cannons roared, and black gunpowder bombs rose into the sky.
The gunpowder bombs were not aimed at Sanshan's samurai team. The seven-foot-wide river was too close with the Tiger Crouching Cannon. Moreover, the original position of these firearms was to damage the enemy's rear and cut off the Japanese support troops.
The Japanese army realized that the Qingchuan Bridge could not be lost, and was mobilizing large forces to garrison the shore. The mission of Zhuangde's Tiger Crouching Artillery Army was to destroy its reinforcements and tear apart the Japanese army's garrison circle!
While the Tiger Crouching Cannon was firing, the Fire Gun Soldiers and Eight Bull Crossbowmen who really assisted Chu Zhijun's attack also took action!
Sanshan turned around and looked at the rear army which suffered heavy losses due to the explosion. Just as he was wondering why, the sergeants in front of him fell one by one. 33
When Yamadao, the closest samurai, collapsed clutching his chest, Miyama panicked, supported Mishima, looked at the blood flowing from his chest, and asked in shock: "What's going on?"
The enemy is still far away, no weapons are seen, and people are already bleeding!
Mishima looked blankly across the bridge. In the night, something seemed to be flying over.
Sanshan looked to the side uneasily. Another warrior shook his body and fell straight into the river. The fall stirred up waves, and the man sank and floated out of the river.
"What happened? What happened?"
Sanshan panicked.
Under the moonlight, there seems to be a man-eating demon hiding. It swallows lives one by one without opening its mouth!
These warriors who have been trained for more than ten years, who can fight against any enemy without falling behind, died in such a confused and inexplicable way before they had time to display their powerful power. They did not even face the enemy directly!
Sanshan didn't understand why this happened until he felt something strange.
Black dots appeared in the pupils, and the black dots came suddenly like a flock of birds flying quickly!
His forehead seemed to be hit by something.
Sanshan raised his hand and touched his forehead. A wisp of warm blood slowly flowed down. Sanshan felt that there was a blood moon hanging in the sky. The world around him was an endless hell, full of red killings and covered with blood. die.
The whistle arrow flew into the night sky again.
Chu Zhi and others put down their push shields, carried their swords, and began the final charge.
The Ming dynasty's muskets used lead shotguns. During the shooting process, there was a problem of part of the lead deviating. If there was no push shield protection, accidental injuries might occur.
Now that the fire gunner and the Eight Ox Crossbow have completed their attack, all that's left is to cross the bridge!
The Tiger Crouching Cannon was still firing, covering the Japanese troops in the distance.
Chu Zhi led his sergeants to sweep through the remaining Japanese troops. When they met the samurai army head-on, the Ming army did not make any stop. They brandished their long swords and chopped down the few remaining samurai troops into the river!
Sergeant Zhao Hong held a long sword in his hand. Not far away was a ferocious warrior, holding a Japanese sword in both hands, shouting in an unintelligible voice and fighting hard.
Zhao Hong shouted, stepped on the Japanese pirate's body and jumped up, slashing down the heavy sword in his hand. The samurai seemed very confident and raised his sword to block.
Ding!
A spark suddenly appeared, and the warrior felt his hands go numb, his arms sank, and then he felt pain in his shoulders!
Zhao Hong cut the long knife into the Japanese pirate's shoulder. The veins on his neck suddenly popped up, and the muscles on his arms bulged. The huge force passed through the blade and cut off the Japanese pirate's shoulder bone.
I don't know how much force was used, the blade cut off each bone, but the force was not reduced, splitting the ribs, and split half of the Japanese pirate's body diagonally!
The extremely cruel and horrifying sight made the samurai, who had always been tolerant, unable to bear it any longer and began to collapse.
The enemy in front of us is not a human being, but a demon!
"kill!"
Zhao Hong shouted, pointing his sword east.
Then the sergeant rushed forward, breaking through the Qingchuan Bridge and entering the east of the Qingchuan River. Chu Zhi led his men to fight out of an area, and the troops behind him continued to enter.
Sheng Yong issued an order for a full-scale attack, and the main army crossed the river in full force!
At the same time, the army led by Yang Wen took a circuitous route to the southeast of Anzhou and contained a large number of Japanese troops in Anzhou. Sheng Yong and Yang Wen attacked Anzhou from two directions!
Under the moonlit night, the shouts of killing shook the sky.
The Hatakeyama family did not have the power to command and respond to the situation. Of the more than 40,000 people who stayed in Anshu, there were only more than 8,000 people directly affiliated with the Hatakeyama family. Others included the Shiba clan, the Kyogoku clan, the Akamatsu clan, the Hosokawa clan and other subordinates. .
Each of these people has their own command, and they each obey the orders of the master's daimyo, and do not obey the orders of the Hatakeyama Mitsuru family.
Although the command system was a bit messy, these people still left the main force to Yang Wen, because no one thought that such an important position as Qingchuan Bridge would be lost so easily!
When Sheng Yong's main force began to charge, Anzhou's army began to be confused. They didn't know whether to deal with the enemies in the southeast or the enemies in the northwest first. They were commanding here, mobilizing privately there, and some people were sitting back and watching the situation. Change, want to preserve strength.
The lack of unified leadership and scheduling completely ruined this group of people.
Yang Wen's combat method is very straightforward, that is, wherever there are many pirates, he throws firearms. After throwing the firearms, he directly goes into the main battle. He is covered with bows and arrows a hundred steps away and kills the enemy from a distance. Fifty steps away, he fires crossbows and arrows. Kill the remaining ones, within fifty steps, push the shield hand to defend, and attach the bayonet to the musket.
This three-stage combat method achieves the perfect combination of firearms and cold weapons. Coupled with the strong defensive power of the push shield, even if there are some remaining Japanese troops, it is difficult to pose a threat to the Ming army.
Yang Wen's troops were not large, with only 3,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry. However, this army was Yang Wen's most valued Liaodong Iron Army. It had made great achievements in chasing and annihilating the Barbarian Jurchens and Haixi Jurchens, and even set a record Chasing the record of 180 miles in one day!
This army had already crossed the Qingchuan River on a temporary wooden bridge in the upper reaches of the Qingchuan River in the north of Anzhou, and then detoured behind the Japanese pirates and hid in the dense forest, waiting for the battle to come.
After Yang Wen left Turtle City, he led his Qingqi to gallop all the way. After crossing the river, he launched a battle against the Anzhou Japanese army.
The conflicting battlefield situation put the Japanese army in a dilemma.
Without Qingchuan Bridge, the Japanese troops in Anju no longer had the possibility to advance westward. The appearance of a large number of Ming troops in the rear cut off the possibility of this Japanese army going south to join up with the Japanese armies in Songjing and Seoul.
They can only flee in two directions: northeast or southwest. Once these people flee, it means that they have crossed the Qingchuan River, and Shiba Yishige, Kyogoku Chimitsu, Akamatsu Hironobu and others who are attacking Kame Castle are completely alone. Without logistics and support, the only fate left for them is destruction.
Hatakeyama Manjia and others were like headless flies. Seeing that Yang Wen's attack was too fierce, they sent some people to fight. When they saw that they couldn't beat Sheng Yong, they immediately sent troops back to fight Sheng Yong. After suffering the loss, they started to touch Yang Wen again...
This chaotic battle greatly weakened the strength of the Japanese army. However, there was no unified voice and no firm orders. As a result, the Anju Japanese army was forced to abandon the outer city and retreat into the city.
The Hatakeyama Mitsui family and others thought they could hold on for a while relying on the city, but they were wrong. What the Ming army was best at was overcoming difficulties, especially with firearms in hand, the siege operations were even more enjoyable.
The longbow threat of the Japanese army was too weak and they lacked long-range weapons to suppress the Ming army. When the Ming army approached within a hundred steps of the city, the Japanese army lost all hope.
Bows and arrows, crossbows, and firecrackers formed the frontline "firepower", while the tigers crouched behind and the cannons formed the rear firepower, covering the city walls and walls. The intensive "firepower" killed every Japanese army who dared to show their heads in an instant!
Just when the Japanese army was uneasy and didn't know where the enemy was going, the city wall suddenly trembled, like an earthquake, and then they heard a deafening cry of killing.
The city gate of Anzhou was blown open...
The Ming army poured in like a tide and began to massacre the Japanese troops in the city!
Some people died, but not completely...
