- The wind was strong on the great plains, and the air was full of tension. The Tokugawa family's three-leaf Aoi family emblem floats in a sea of ??countless colorful flags, paying tribute to the Ming army's Tiandao Taigeki flag opposite. There are six or seven miles apart, and the two sides have a total of nearly 200,000 troops. Facing each other in the distance.
With such a terrain and such a large-scale confrontation between armies, there is naturally no secret at all. The so-called ambush and surprise attacks are completely useless. The two sides can only fight hard and stupidly face to face!
The Japanese army has nearly 150,000 soldiers and horses, which has pushed the shogunate's mobilization power to the limit in a short period of time. It is already the largest scale in recent decades. Among them, there are more than 20,000 cavalry troops. The battle formations are They were densely covered with all kinds of family emblems and flags, and the surrounding space for dozens of miles was covered by these soldiers. Their posture was extremely terrifying!
Li Zhe, on the other hand, mobilized two divisions from Kyushu Island, including two marine divisions from the North Sea Fleet and the East China Sea Fleet, totaling more than 40,000 people. Compared with the Japanese army on the opposite side, the battle formations were sparse. Several batches of attack waves were formed on the front that stretched for seven or eight miles. On the left artillery position, there were more than 600 artillery pieces of various types forming an artillery cluster. The huge muzzles were facing forward!
In the Japanese army, the expressions on the faces of the young warriors were excited and nervous. They were not afraid of fear, but excited for this grand scene that they rarely encountered once in their lives, and for being able to turn their short and humble life into a final. I am so happy to be able to get the most intense bloom in this most violent and cruel game of mankind!
The lives of ashigaru, generals, daimyo, all of them have reached the most intense peak in their lives at this moment, and they are just waiting for the hysterical release at that moment!
Is this the fate of a samurai? Tokugawa Iemitsu asked himself in his heart
Since it was a national war, the procedures were slightly different. There was a prelude of scolding before the war. Several colorfully dressed warriors stood up and pointed to where Li Zhe was and sang a verse in a frustrated voice. , although the people here didn't know what was going on, the funny performance still made the tense atmosphere on the battlefield slightly relieved.
" Then, Li Zhe was a little impatient. It's already time, who has the time to deal with these people?
With a wave of his hand and an order, the war drums sounded, and Ma Chao's army was dispatched. Thousands of soldiers formed a skirmish line several miles long and launched an attack directly on the opposite side! The prelude to the army's attack began!
There was a brief commotion in the shogunate army column opposite. The situation on the battlefield today was that the Japanese side was clearly outnumbered. Who knew that the Ming commander was so bold? The side that launched the attack obviously consciously occupied the area. Take the initiative! The bold and fierce style in this is obvious!
Tokugawa Iemitsu and several elders stood on a man-made hill behind the formation, looking at the situation, "Nakao-sama is right, the people of the Ming Dynasty really have a very high self-esteem, and we obviously They have an absolute advantage in military strength, but the enemy turned a blind eye. Is the gap in combat power between the two sides really that big?" The eyes of a group of people couldn't help but focus on the hundreds of gleaming doors on the left front of the Ming army's formation. On the big tube! It seems that the mystery is concentrated in this legendary artifact that is comparable to the power of the gods!
Because the natural deterrence of artillery is so great, it is easy to attract the attention of people of this era. Even if the Japanese intelligence collection is defeated, no one realizes that this is all-round backwardness. Focus all the most important reasons on the cannon!
However, the cannons in Li Zhe¡¯s army will not let them down!
The front lines of both sides slowly approached. After reaching a distance of several hundred meters, the artillery positions behind Li Zhejun began to fire. Half of the more than 800 artillery pieces were direct-firing artillery. Once fired, their momentum and power would be unmatched even by Li Zhejun's side. The first time I saw it, everyone next to the artillery array was shaken dizzy, and the whole earth shook faintly.
Bullets rained out, and just one round of artillery shells dropped more than 400 rounds of explosive shells. The result of firing all over the enemy's dense positions was to cause thousands of casualties! The enemy's first formation only withstood two rounds of fire and suffered most of the casualties. When it came time to engage Ma Chao's division, the force was so weak that Ma Chao's division almost rushed past!
??????????????????????????????????????? Tokugawa Iemitsu was horrified, so he ordered the cavalry to attack the Ming people's artillery array.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" Sakai Tadakatsu hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Only the most stoic people on the battlefield can have the last laugh. The enemy's troops have not yet deployed, and they can still protect the array of large cannons at any time. Our army If the cavalry charges up now, it is very likely that they will fall into the quagmire of infantry! We have to wait a little longer. The Ming people are so arrogant and arrogant. As long as our formation holds on, the Ming people's forces will inevitably rush forward.Come, it will be time for our cavalry to reap the fruits of victory! "
Tokugawa thought for a while and nodded solemnly: "The teacher is still wise! This way, the cavalry will be more confident in attacking, and the results will be more brilliant. However, our army will have to withstand firepower for a longer time this time, and the warriors of the Kingdom of God will have to pay The price will be even greater!¡±
Sakai closed his eyes and gritted his teeth: "This battle is related to the survival of the Kingdom of Japan. Even if everyone is shattered by it! They will not hesitate to do it, let alone this mere body! This time, they can go to the battlefield. You should have the consciousness to sacrifice your life for your country!¡±
¡¡
With the cooperation of the artillery array, Ma Chao Division continued to advance wildly! Like the roaring waves of the sea, they charged towards the enemy's central formation. The Japanese army had to move forward to resist the enemy.
At this moment, the Japanese had to endure a very sad result - their own iron cannons were vulnerable to the enemy's iron cannons and could only be beaten. There was a huge difference in speed, range and accuracy. Match ropes The spearmen took small steps and rushed up to a regiment to start shooting. However, they often withstood the enemy's torrential firepower before they could reach their own firing range, and were killed before the firepower could be launched. Most of the casualties in the attack were defeated!
The skirmisher line formed by Ma Chao's division was as unshakable as a moving city. On the wide front, there was a continuous rain of bullets, and a long tongue of fire was like a giant greedy anteater. The Japanese legions were one after another. Fill it in, the iron artillery team, the ashigaru team, and even the elite samurai team! The result is the same destruction! Hot weapons devour lives much more efficiently than cold weapons fighting face to face. In the past, it would take half a day or even a day to defeat the queue, but now it only takes ten minutes to collapse. The Japanese army went all out, but was completely blocked. The Ming people's musket formation on the opposite side was slowly but firmly pressing towards the formation. The Ming people's iron cannons were no easier to deal with than the big barrels!
"General! General! The enemy's iron artillery is powerful. Our ashigaru formation is slow and cannot be attacked! We have already suffered tens of thousands of casualties. Cavalry! Let the cavalry attack!"
"Bag! Absolutely impossible!" Tokugawa Iemitsu looked back and glared angrily, waved his fan, and did not dispatch the cavalry! Instead, more flanking legions rushed out, surrounded from the sides, and used their sufficient manpower to try to block Ma Chao's attack!
Li Zhe can see clearly from here! A smile!
Pang De Division and Zheng Zhihu Division were dispatched one after another. Dozens of battalion-level skirmisher lines spread out, forming a huge arc-shaped encirclement along the front of more than ten miles on the left and right sides, and headed towards the opposite side! The battle has finally entered full swing!
Countless muskets and cannons, the deafening roar, together with the samurai¡¯s hysterical screaming charge, blood mixed with death, massacre and glory, became the most high-pitched scene in the symphony before us!
And from the front, Master Ma Chao still leads the way! After experiencing a bloody battle, Ma Chao Division has grown into the strongest army among the Dongjiang soldiers. With only a few thousand people, they are like the mainstay on the battlefield and are unstoppable! He firmly grasped the initiative on the front, controlled the front several square kilometers in the middle of the battlefield, and maintained tremendous pressure on the shogunate's central army!
¡¡
"No, we can't go on like this." The shogunate's central army, even though Tokugawa Iemitsu was conceited and had a deep personality, could not withstand this kind of pressure. After the battle lasted for an hour, he saw that the casualties paid by the shogunate army were already tens of thousands. There were more than ten thousand people on both sides, and the entire army suffered heavy losses, with casualties reaching one-third! However, the enemy's iron artillery array on the opposite side was not damaged at all. Instead, it got closer and closer bit by bit.
In addition to the Chinese army from the front, the enemy forces have begun to charge from the front of the entire battlefield. Dozens of similar formations, large and small, are also spitting out fierce fire and approaching to surround our own side. This kind of slowness is like the top of a mountain. Ordinary pressure can almost make people collapse! This is still an iron cannon array. It is simply a wall of fire that can spit out fierce fire!
This kind of fighting method, where just the iron cannon is enough to sweep all the formations, has never appeared in the history of the Japanese people. Such depression, such overwhelming force, Tokugawa Iemitsu except the cavalry army to attack All other ideas have been tried, but to no avail. They still can't stop the enemy's slowly approaching formation. Seeing that the Chinese army's array has been squeezed out of shape, a collapse of the army may occur at any time!
At this time, everyone saw that the enemy's rear formation began to change, and the big tube position moved forward, as if they wanted to move closer to the enemy to shoot. When the troop formation changed, there was a burst of chaos, and the artillery fire pressure suddenly decreased. There were a lot of them. When Tokugawa Iemitsu saw them, he was overjoyed that he had finally waited for them.
"Quick! Now! Order the cavalry to attack!"
¡¡
The strong wind blew and the smoke filled the air. From the thick smoke that almost covered the entire battlefield, there was a thunderous sound, the earth shook and rumbled, and the Japanese cavalry began to charge!
More than 20,000 cavalry, a dense charging array, as thick as a deadly hammer, broke through two battalion-level skirmishers of Li Zhe's army in the blink of an eye, leaving the trampled and messy formation behind. Go to Li Zhezhong's army! Facts have proved that in this era, a line formed by high-rate rifles alone cannot stop the impact of large-scale cavalry!
The Japanese soldiers were almost jumping up and down with joy. Almost everyone's eyes were eagerly looking at the situation here, but the smoke of the battlefield blocked most people's eyes! Everyone could only hear the rumbling sound of horse hooves, which continued to move towards the center of the enemy army on the opposite side!
"Haha, we're finally here!" Li Zhe said with a smile, as if he breathed a sigh of relief, and issued the last order for today's battle.
The reserve team of the entire army, Master Geng Zhongming of the North Sea Fleet Marine Corps, strode forward and began to form formations along the edge of the artillery battle. Everyone was making final preparations, waiting for the enemy to charge!
The sound of horse hooves rumbled, and we finally came closer!
"Fire!"
Geng Zhongming gave the order!
Thousands of guns were fired from the forward position, and the projectiles spurted out, forming a deadly shock wave and facing the Japanese cavalry! Among them, the loud and continuous sound of muskets was the most eye-catching. I saw a group of two people, a total of fifty groups, lined up in the array line, in front of each group , are all a gun stand like a small cannon. On the gun stand, there are six barrels bundled together like a heavy artillery barrel. When firing, the soldier turned the wheel under the gun frame, causing the six barrels on the gun frame to continuously rotate and spit out tongues of fire! Sweeping everything on the opposite side
Hand-cranked Gatling!
The most original machine gun! But it was also the predecessor of the famous Vulcan cannon! Although there are many problems in practical application, in this era, it is still a terrifying battlefield killing weapon!
This model developed by Li Zhejun in the Three Kingdoms Time and Space has a caliber of 15 mm and a maximum rate of fire of 1,000 rounds per minute. Even in normal times, the standard rate of fire is more than 500 rounds. At this time, it is used to deal with the Japanese cavalry. It can be said to be truly put to its proper use!
At this time, the fifty Gatling gun groups on the position were like fifty brutal sickles hundreds of meters long, constantly cutting back and forth in the dense array of Japanese cavalry, forming a deadly steel storm! Every bullet hit caused a series of broken tendons and fractures, causing widespread casualties to the shogunate cavalry. The forwards of the cavalry charge were cut off layer by layer. The short charge of a few hundred meters was like The road to death seems to never reach anywhere!
The Japanese cavalry regiment, like an inflated balloon, was pricked into huge holes in front of Gatlin. Its size continued to shrink at an eye-catching speed, and the corpses of the forward troops continued to accumulate on the road of charge. Hills quickly formed one after another, significantly slowing down the charge of the cavalry! Slower and slower! Blood flowed freely and corpses lay everywhere. The heroic charge of the warriors became useless in the face of the power of modern steel!
ah! From the cavalry formation, desperate cries came from the warriors! At the last and most critical moment, Gatlin's appearance buries all hopes!
The morale of the Japanese army finally collapsed!
After the artillery array was moved, the roar sounded again, and the heavy rain of artillery shells exploded in the cavalry array, turning the cavalry into rag dolls struggling in a landslide and tsunami. They were tumbling in the air one by one. In the center of the cavalry array, Large areas of empty space were blown out by artillery fire!
"Run! Run away!"
The thought of shame suddenly appeared in the minds of the warriors! (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!) - Didn't finish reading?
