Part One: Penghu Storm Chapter 517: Attack and Defense of Chishi Mountain

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    It is obviously useless to rely solely on faith to win a war.

    Just like at Kamikawa Lake in Chishi Mountain, although he had perfected the entire defense line according to his own ideas, he didn't have much confidence in his heart.

    He knows the fighting power of the Tiger Guards very well. With the current strength of the Aida family, even if they can resist temporarily, it will be difficult to stay here for a long time.

    Unless you get strong external help.

    There is only one external help: Kyoto!

    He really wanted to see the Emperor of Japan in person and tell him personally about the current critical situation and how to deal with it, but he did not have this right.

    Not only does he not have it, Aida Sho also has no such right

    So the only thing I can do now is to wait.  Desperate, hopeless waiting

    ?¡­

    "Quick, speed up!" Li Dingguo greeted his soldiers in a low voice.

    Leading the troops alone and completing such an important task is a challenge and an opportunity for Li Dingguo.

    Li Dingguo is very clear about his status in the Huben Guards. He is not the kind of veteran who has followed Ding Yunyi since he was on patrol, nor is he a technician with special skills like Jiao Xu and Aier, nor is he a technician with special skills like Jiao Xu and Aier.  A relative of Wu Liehou like A Hu.

    Even now, I still can¡¯t forget my past identity:

    Rogue bandits!

    Even though Wu Liehou has never looked down on himself because of this, there is always such a shadow in his heart.  There is only one way to stand out in the Wuliehou Group:

    Make meritorious service.  No matter what, he uses one achievement after another to establish his prestige and completely get rid of the entanglement and torture of the shadows of the past on his heart.

    And now, the opportunity has been placed in front of me

    Three hundred soldiers, all armed with muskets, shuttled through the mountain paths in an orderly manner.  In this military operation, not only muskets, but also more mysterious weapons are waiting for the Japanese in Chishi Mountain

    "How much time is left?" Li Dingguo asked in a low voice after seeing the Japanese guide beside him.

    "It's almost there. There's about half a day left. As long as we pass here, we can get behind Chishi Mountain. Attack from a high position." The guide said with a flattering look on his face.

    "The front army speeds up, the middle army keeps up, and the rear army remains alert."

    "Before the opponent discovers this path, enter first. At noon the day after tomorrow, we will prepare to launch an attack. Once the front becomes stalemate, if a surprise force appears from behind them, it will give them the heaviest blow.  !" Wu Liehou's explanation to him always echoed in Li Dingguo's heart

    On the second day of May in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, the Huben Guards North Route Army, which had been slow to take action after capturing Gaogang City, finally launched an attack on Chishi Mountain under the personal command of Wu Liehou Ding Yunyi.

    The roaring cannon shows the determination of the Tiger Guards to seize Chishi Mountain!

    The artillery shells rained down on the enemy. Although it was difficult to cause substantial damage to the enemy, it greatly shocked the will of the defenders psychologically.

    The shells fell one after another, with the sound of "boom-boom-".  Countless gravels were stirred up, and the rocks and broken branches flying in the air formed the most gorgeous scene on the battlefield.

    The samurai of the Aida family were forced to hide wherever they could to avoid the damage from the terrible shells.

    Shangchuanhu looked at everything in front of him with a gloomy expression.  If possible, he would even lead the Aida family warriors to rush out and fight the enemy to the death.

    Before, he had always been running away to avoid a direct conflict with Ding Yunyi. He did this whether he was in the Shimazu family or the Zheng family.

    But now it¡¯s different, he has no way to escape anymore.  Once Kyoto was defeated, Japan became a new place for the great conqueror to conquer.  Then the world is so big that there is no place for oneself.

    The only thing I can do is to regard myself as a real Japanese and defend this place to the death.

    Although he knew very well that the enemy would not be able to capture Chishi Mountain in a hurry, the earth-shattering sound of artillery made him feel panic.

    The Ming army¡¯s artillery fire was too fierce!

    Ding Yunyi¡¯s wings have grown very hard

    The Ming army was not in a hurry to attack. They saw very clearly that it was impossible to capture Chishi Mountain with the power of artillery fire, but it could wear away the opponent's patience and morale bit by bit.

    When a person lives in fear for a long time, he??The psychology will soon completely collapse But there is one thing that Kamikawa Lake doesn't understand very well. They bombard so frequently, don't they worry about the consumption of shells at all?

    After all, what they really want to capture is Kyoto, not Akaishi Mountain.

    "Mr. Kamikawa, the envoy sent by the general has arrived and is about to go to the Ming army camp through here. Lord Aida asked me to inform you to see if you want to see him."

    General¡¯s messenger?  Shangchuanhu sneered. Is it still useful to send an envoy at this time?  Don't you see, General, that the enemy's only purpose is to destroy Japan?

    ¡°Maybe the general wants to delay time, but with Ding Yunyi¡¯s temper, he will never give the Japanese any chance.

    But now is not the time to speak for yourself. Let the Japanese do whatever they want to do

    While Ding Yunyi was nervously observing the Ming army at Shangchuan Lake, he was also observing Chishi Mountain.

    The military capabilities of the Japanese are not scary at all. According to intelligence, Aida Sho is not directly responsible for the defense of Akaishi Mountain. The one who is actually commanding there is Lake Kamikawa.

    The defense of Akaishishan well exposed that Kamikawako did not actually command the war. Maybe he was a good conspirator, but he did not have much connection with the military.

    The only thing the Japanese relied on was the natural danger of Mount Chishi.

    Where is Li Dingguo?  Can they appear behind the Japanese in time when Hubenwei launches a general attack?  Can the Tiger Guards be allowed to capture Chishi Mountain at the minimum cost?  This is what Ding Yunyi is most concerned about.

    "Master Marquis, the Japanese general sent an envoy from Idarigi."

    "Idarigi?" Ding Yunyi couldn't help laughing when he heard the name.

    Speaking of which, I still have to thank this person.  When he was in Satsuma Domain, if it weren't for this person's "help", his plan might not have gone so smoothly.

    So when Ding Yunyi saw this person, he was very polite.

    Although Idarigi felt a little uneasy, considering the general's instructions, Idarigi still bit the bullet and spoke out Japan's "protest".

    After listening to Idarigi¡¯s protest, Ding Yunyi told the other party the whole story of why he wanted to send troops with a very serious expression.  But Idarigi immediately denied any involvement between Japan and Luzon.

    Ding Yunyi's "evidence" is sufficient, and every piece of evidence clearly tells Idarigi that the Ming army did not take the initiative to send troops for no reason.

    No matter how much Idarigi protests.  No matter how to beg, Ding Yunyi always insisted on one thing:

    If the purpose of sending troops this time is not achieved, the Ming army will never withdraw from Japan.

    Idarigi was desperate.  He knew that with his own ability, it was no longer possible to force the Ming Dynasty to retreat.  But at this moment, Ding Yunyi suddenly smiled and asked the other party:

    "Mr. Ida, have you ever considered doing something for me?"

    Idarigi was stunned.

    Working for Ding Yunyi?  Do you work for the people of the Ming Dynasty?  No, I have never thought about it.  He is a retainer of the General, and a retainer that the General trusts very much.

    How could I betray the General?

    Idarigi has never thought about the word betrayal.

    Ding Yunyi didn't need any answer from him now, but said calmly: "Ida, you can stay in my military camp temporarily. I guarantee that you will receive my hospitality and will never be harmed in any way. Moreover, I, the Tiger Guard Army  The attack on Chishi Mountain will begin tomorrow. You can make your own decision after watching the attack."

    Idarigi swore that he would not betray the General, but there were benefits to staying here. At least he could see the true strength of the Ming army and then report to the General.

    Ding Yunyi had no intention of being wary of him.  He was even allowed to move around within his own military camp.

    Idarigi saw many things he had never seen before in the Ming army camp.

    For example, those ubiquitous muskets, those terrifying artillery pieces, those well-trained soldiers Now, after reading these, he began to worry about the future of Japan  .

    The Tiger Guards and the Japanese army are not on the same level at all.  They have new weapons.  Powerful weapons and elite soldiers.

    Idarigi even felt that as long as the Ming army could leap over the Red Rock Mountain, they could easily capture Kyoto. At that time, would there be any hope for Japan?

    Why should I categorically reject Ding Yunyi's kindness?Don't you know how to leave yourself a way out?

    Thinking of this, Idarigi could not help but sigh softly

    On the third day of May in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, a new attack by Huben Guards beganThe shells fell like rain as always, desperately hitting the Japanese positions.

    Or to be more precise, this cannot be called a position at all

    The Japanese are still enduring the tremendous physical and mental torture caused by artillery shells just like yesterday. They don¡¯t know when this torture will end.

    Idarigi and Ding Yunyi have been standing at the forefront of the position watching the bombardment, and Idarigi's heart has been undergoing very subtle changes.

    He never knew that artillery was so powerful, and he never knew that artillery shells were so terrifying.  He even believed that Chishi Mountain would be completely blown up by this terrible artillery fire

    At noon, the sound of artillery suddenly stopped The battlefield that was still under heavy artillery fire suddenly became extremely quiet The Japanese who had recovered from the shelling were a little uncomfortable.  But some people began to feel a little uneasy No one could tell where this uneasiness came from. It just came from the deepest part of their hearts, the uneasiness inherent in human instinct

    Soon, this uneasiness was confirmed:

    A large number of Ming army officers and soldiers began to form formations, with swords and guns shining and flags flying.  Looking from here, it's so densely packed that you can't even see the end of it.

    When the horn sounded, the Ming army¡¯s general attack on Chishi Mountain finally began!

    The sound of cannons resounded loudly

    Countless Ming troops began to advance in an orderly manner under the cover of artillery.

    "Fight! Fight!! Fight!!!" Aida Xiang shouted loudly after hearing the news.

    The moment to decide not only yourself but also the fate of Japan has arrived.

    Countless Japanese emerged from their hiding places, using their bows and arrows and their meager and severely backward muskets to try their best to block the oncoming Ming army.

    The terrain of Chishi Mountain is still very favorable for the defenders.

    Large-scale troops cannot be fully deployed here, and the defenders can calmly take advantage of the terrain to delay as much time as possible.

    This is one of the reasons why Shangchuan Lake chose this place to block the Ming army

    The Ming army attacked several times in a row, but the results were not very great.  And what makes Idarigi very curious is that Ding Yunyi doesn't seem to care about the setback in the attack at all.

    And the soldiers of the Huben Guards are also very different from the "brave and invincible" army that Idarigi imagined.  Once they encounter strong resistance from the defenders, they will quickly retreat and then organize their formation to attack again, rather than blindly charging with their own lives.

    Aren¡¯t soldiers on the battlefield supposed to be unafraid of death?

    "The lives of soldiers are very valuable?" Ding Yunyi seemed to understand Idarigi's thoughts and said with a smile: "The enemy's defense formation has been fully deployed, and I will not take unnecessary risks with the lives of my soldiers.  "

    "What about victory? Don't you want victory?" Idarigi didn't quite understand.

    "Of course I want victory, and I want it more than anyone else." Ding Yunyi still smiled faintly: "But if I have to sacrifice the lives of countless soldiers in exchange for such a victory, I will not be willing to do so. Besides,  There are many ways to achieve victory, Date, you can watch here, and soon you will see the complete destruction of Aida Sho."

    Idarigi didn¡¯t quite understand, but he decided to continue reading here.

    Ding Yunyi was there waiting for Li Dingguo to appear, but he did not put all his hopes on Li Dingguo.  In his opinion, it would be best if he could arrive at the battlefield in time and launch a surprise attack on the Japanese, but if he couldn't do it, it wasn't really a big deal.

    Sneak attacks and forceful attacks are only methods that can be used in war. You must adjust your combat deployment at any time according to changes in the actual battlefield conditions.
