Bang!Bang... A sound of gongs came from the Ming army.

On the phalanx of several hundred households on the edge of the left wing, the generals riding horse turned to watch and saw several blue pennant flags of the central army waving eastward.

The generals raised their heads and shouted: Turn right and retreat!

The hundreds of household teams held the numbered military flags and lined up to run, moving in two rows of columns to the east.

When the Japanese army were breathing with their mouths wide open and approaching the Ming army formation, the square formation on the edge of the Ming army had already run away to the middle.

After the column, among the dust, rows of neat muskets faced the west.

The three rows of light infantry wearing wide-eaves iron helmets and cloth armor seemed to have been waiting in line.

The Japanese soldiers who had reached 10 or 20 steps ahead could be seen clearly, and many of them had surprised and ominous expressions on their faces.

Originally, the Japanese army dispatched surprise troops, but when they rushed over, they found that their opponents were prepared. They would feel very bad without thinking too much.

However, a large number of Japanese soldiers have launched an attack, and it is difficult to change their tactics at this time.

The crowd ahead shouted and continued to rush forward.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang... The Ming army's teams opened fire one after another, and the dense sounds of muskets were heard one after another.

There were suddenly howling sounds everywhere on the battlefield, and Japanese soldiers kept falling to the ground.

The infantry was running and leaning forward, and after being shot, he was gnawing mud.

The warrior riding a horse was tilted up from the horse's back, and the scene was very tragic.

The undead soldiers turned around and fled.

But at this moment, a roar suddenly came: Onboard!The Japanese army crowd in the west shouted and rushed over desperately again.

After a short rest on the Ming army's positions, the second row of fire guns from each formation began to fire again.

Countless muskets fired three rounds in total, and many corpses were left on the battlefield, as well as wounded soldiers scattered on the ground, and the remaining soldiers who fled.

But the Japanese army had not retreated yet, and the crowds who came up continued to shout and run, and the scene was very crazy.Even the defeated defeated soldiers were unable to coerce too many Japanese troops who continued to charge.

After the Ming army's light infantry had fired their muskets and did not load them on the spot, they retreated from the gap between the heavy infantry queues behind.As soon as the light soldiers left, the three cannon cars that were opened separately were exposed.

Behind the cannon cart is a heavy infantry formation, and the heavy infantry covered in iron looks very terrifying. The sergeant almost only had one face exposed.

They wore exposed iron helmets that looked like the word "Yang" but without the word "Lass"; their ears and necks were chain mail, large areas of iron forged scales on their bodies, and their heart protection mirrors were shining.

In addition to armor, the soldiers also had a wooden shield with riveted iron sheets in their hands, and the weapon was a spear with a wooden pole equipped with a wrought iron spear tip.

This kind of heavy infantry is like a pile of iron, and few people will have the desire to attack.

The Japanese army followed up with people, but completely ignored what was ahead. With the shouts, a chaotic crowd ran towards them.

After waiting for a while, suddenly three cannons were fired. After the flames shone, the raindrop-like shotgun flew to the battlefield.

The Japanese army crowd seemed to be cursed suddenly, and people fell to the ground one after another.

The survivors behind turned around and scattered as soon as they came to their senses.

A warrior inserted the Japanese sword into the ground, supporting his body and struggling to get up, but soon fell to the ground again.

However, deep in the smoke and dust in the west, a shout came soon: Onboard... Countless figures swayed, and many people were still rushing forward.

There was a voice in the Ming army formation saying: The Japanese are not stubborn.

Then the general shouted loudly: Welcome the enemy!

The soldiers of each team moved closer to the middle, and the gaps between people no longer existed, forming a denser flat square array.

A row of iron shields looked like long turtle shells, and the spears placed on the edge of the shield were like turning square formations into hedgehogs.

The spears in the second row were also laid flat between the two people in the front row, and the gun array was very dense.

The Japanese army finally rushed to the front, but they stopped fighting and wandered in front of the formation and were just breathing. The scene was very strange.

The heavy infantry of the Ming army was just arranged in place and had no intention of counterattacking. It seemed that they were waiting for something.

A warrior waved his Japanese sword and shouted, and finally rushed up with a few spear soldiers around him.

But soon two screams rang out. The warrior held the Japanese sword in both hands, and a bloody spear head was exposed on his back. Then he was stabbed again and fell down.

Wow... A wave of arrow feathers flew in the air and landed in the Ming army formation, making a crisp sound.

At this moment, the sound of horns came from the south, and the sound of horse hooves gradually became clear.There was finally a noise among the Japanese soldiers in front of the formation, and many people began to run back.

Ah!Suddenly, a warrior in armor rushed towards the gap between the Ming army formations and desperately.

But the crazy shouts soon came to an abrupt end. Behind the square formation was a Ming general riding a horse. He fired an arrow at a distance of about ten steps and the arrow penetrated the warrior's breastplate.

The warrior immediately stood still with his knife.

A moment later, a general holding a long sword rushed over.

The Ming sword is thin and long, or called the Miao sword.

The general danced the bright sword and waved it half a circle, got the momentum, then waved it to the right side of the head, and slashed it diagonally with one knife.

With a clang, the warrior raised his Japanese sword to block it, but it didn't block it at all. The long sword hit the warrior's neck, and his head tilted softly.In the squirting blood mist, the man also fell down on his knees.

The whimpering of the horn in the south is like the sound of death, and the horse's hooves roar from far to near.

Judging from the movement and stillness, there may be only two or three hundred Ming cavalry dispatched.

But the Japanese army had exhausted its last aura on the western battlefield; this Ming army cavalry was undoubtedly the last blow and could chase the Japanese army.

The battlefield was full of fleeing Japanese soldiers, who ran desperately towards the woods.

Many people even threw away their spears and were all scrambling to flee.

There was a soldier who had no hood, and the Chinese characters on the cloth strip on Baotou seemed extra funny.

The man shouted indignantly in Japanese. Those who understand Japanese might understand what he meant: stupid generals should die first!

...The news of the Japanese right-wing surprise defeat of the Japanese army soon reached the meeting of Ouchi Mori.

Danui Shengjian, who was sitting upright on the bench, seemed not to have many surprises at this time, only a sad breath enveloped his face.

The war had not yet reached the base camp of Ouchi Morimiya, but the rumbling cannon sounded again in the direction of his left.The noise on the battlefield ahead also seemed to be closer.

The defeat in this battle has been decided.This army mobilized from all over Japan may not be much left after the war.

If the Japanese army retreated to the Xiashanmen area of ​​Bofu Mountain at this time, they could continue to resist with the terrain of Bofu Mountain; but the military ration supplies were cut off, so what would so many people eat in the small Bofu Mountain?

It is estimated that the Ming army will not go into the mountains to clear the enemy, but will only deploy troops to siege and monitor.

If the Japanese army retreated through the Xiashanmen area and towards Shima County to the west, the terrain was not wide, and it would be difficult not to be driven to the terrain of the peninsula.

The only way at this time was to pass the floating bridge and retreat towards Karoya County; when the Ming army could not stop the pursuit, the Japanese army burned the floating bridge.

The lower reaches of the river are close to the estuary, and the river water is wider and deeper, so soldiers and horses cannot wade.

The Ming army wanted to pursue the remnants of the Japanese army, so they had to go around the upstream and cross the river before pursuing them.

However, the Ming army had powerful cavalry and was responsible for the pursuit.

Most of the defeated Japanese troops were busy running away, and they might not be able to form positions or stop the cavalry charge.

At that time, the defeated Japanese troops will form a fleeing force. At least they will run across the plains dozens of miles under the pursuit of cavalry, and they will probably suffer heavy losses.

If you think deeper, the Ming Kou has the garrison of the plains of Yuya County, and he will have a foothold.

And Dazaifu should not be able to defend it. The Jihouguo Plain in the south is one of the most suitable plains for cultivation in Japan.

The Ming Dynasty took the two countries before and after the building, and with its grand national strength and large population; if they were determined to conquer the Japanese islands, there would be no hope in this war.

When Ouchi Mori turned his head, he saw a few cherry trees on the grass. He sighed secretly.

The vague cherry blossoms remained, and the wind blew, and there was not much left.

Hakata's cherry blossoms, like the soul of a Japanese warrior, all flew away in a short period of time.

Perhaps those cherry blossoms are transformed by the souls of the soldiers and have become a sad and desperate scenery.

Ouchi Moriji silently touched the hilt of a knife around his waist.He wore two Japanese swords with length and length, and now he was the short sword.Warriors often use this short knife when they commit suicide.

Tao Jing, beside him, saw the actions of Shengjian Danui, and seemed to have expected something. He hurriedly said in a deep voice: If the lord goes, the Danui family will definitely no longer exist. And those pro-war factions who were shouting around before the war may transform themselves and push the mistakes to the lord. Why don’t they die?

If the family of the big internal family completely disbanded, the retainers and warriors would either go to other daimyo cities and beg for the pity to take in, or they would only become poor ronin without fiefdom and salary.

After everyone understood the situation, they knelt down around Danai Shengjian and said: We are living and dying with our lord.

Ouchi Moriki's palm, which was holding the hilt tightly, was gradually filled with sweat.

At this moment, a cavalry rushed over and was soon stopped by two warriors.

Tao Jing took a look, hurriedly walked over there quickly, and said a few words to the man.

After a while, Tao Jing turned back and whispered in his ears: The leader of the Spoh sent someone to pass on the order, and the governor of the Wang family led the remaining subordinates to the palace. After that, he tried to retreat to Bofu Mountain to fight the enemy and fulfill his loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor...

Anger slowly oozed out from Ouchi Moriji's eyes.His hand immediately moved away from the short knife, and looked back and said: We should try to break through, return to Zhou defense and continue to fight against the enemy!
