    At this time, the Japanese cavalry troops reached within thirty steps of the position, and the Huben Guards' artillery stopped firing.

    But now it was time for a large number of musketeers to show off their power.  All the musketeers sprayed tongues of fire at the Japanese pirates who had rushed to the front of the position.  Almost all the gunpowder in the barrel was fired out in one go.

    The Japanese cavalry never expected that victory was in sight, but they were hit by such a powerful blow from the Ming army.

    Because the distance between the two sides was too close at this time, and the Japanese pirates' men and horses were densely packed, the hit rate of the muskets was also extremely high. After a rapid and intensive round of firing, nearly three hundred Japanese pirate cavalry fell, almost  Immediately, a wall of human and horse corpses was piled up.  The other cavalrymen were also frightened by this sudden and violent blow. They were stunned and at a loss for a moment.

    The unexpected blow caused hundreds more casualties to the Japanese pirates, and their numbers immediately dropped sharply.  At this time, the musketeers of Huben Guards and the spearmen and sword and shield soldiers in the rear also came out to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese pirates.

    Although the Japanese pirates were all cavalry, after suffering two major blows in front of the position, their vigor was greatly weakened, and the speed of the attack also slowed down.  However, the morale of the soldiers of the Huben Guards was at a high level, and everyone was working bravely. With one going down and the other going up, the two sides were naturally not in the same level of competition.

    And the Japanese cavalry had always thought that as long as they reached the Tiger Guards' position, the Tiger Guards would be defeated immediately like other Shu troops.  Unexpectedly, not only was this Ming army not defeated, but on the contrary, everyone was very brave.  Whether they are musketeers, spearmen, sword and shield soldiers, their hand-to-hand combat capabilities are not inferior to any of the elite troops among the Japanese pirates.  Therefore, the soldiers who could only kill the Japanese pirates fell off their horses and died one after another.

    at the same time.  On the left and right sides of the Japanese pirates, a group of troops also came up. It turned out that Li Dingguo saw that the Japanese pirates were attacking his left line and completely gave up on his right line, so he ordered the remaining two companies on the right line to fight out of their positions and leave their headquarters.  Go around to the battlefield on the left line.  They rushed in from the right side of the Japanese pirates, and ordered the defenders on the hill at the end of the left front to also come down the hill and attack the Japanese pirates' left side.

    Under such a three-sided attack, the Japanese pirates simply could not resist it.  The smart ones immediately pulled their horses' heads and fled towards their main formation, while those who were slow to react were either killed by the Tiger Guards or abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

    But after running away from the battlefield for a while, when he looked up, he suddenly discovered that his main formation no longer existed at all.

    It turns out that after the Japanese cavalry attacked, more than a dozen long-range artillery pieces of the Huben Guards always targeted the Japanese pirates' main formation, following several rounds of shelling.  They only killed and injured numerous Japanese pirates.

    Although several generals such as Nishidao Gaojiang and Chifeng Xuancheng were still safe and sound, the Japanese pirates' main formation was in chaos, and the soldiers fled in disorder, looking for places to hide.  Nishijima Takae and others couldn't stop drinking.

    And at this moment, a burst of gunshots like booming beans suddenly came from the left wing of the Japanese pirates' main formation, and they kept coming.  The soldiers on the left side of the Japanese main formation immediately formed rows and fell continuously.  It turned out that Ding Yunyi personally led his own guards and launched an attack from the left side of the Japanese pirates.

    In fact, Ding Yunyi has been lying in ambush not far from the battlefield, and Ding Yunyi has been observing the situation on the battlefield with a telescope.  Waiting for the opportunity to launch the final blow to the Japanese pirates.  Seeing that the Japanese pirates had gathered all their cavalry and prepared to launch an all-out attack on Huben Guard's position, Ding Yunyi couldn't help but feel worried for Li Dingguo.  Fortunately, Li Dingguo made a prompt decision and decisively ordered to take action first and bombard the Japanese pirates' main formation, disrupting the Japanese pirates' arrangement in one fell swoop.  And Ding Yunyi also knew that now it was his turn to attack.  Therefore, Duan Saner was immediately ordered to lead all the soldiers to attack the Japanese pirates from the left side, and cooperated with the front to defeat the Japanese pirates in one fell swoop.

    After Duan Saner received the order, he immediately led his troops to attack and formed a formation about a hundred steps away from the left side of the Japanese pirates.

    The Tiger Guards' attack uses a three-stage burst. After the soldiers in the first row complete firing, they do not retreat. Instead, they reload their ammunition on the spot. The soldiers in the back row go up to the front to continue firing, and then continue firing.  The soldiers from the third row came forward, and so on, advancing layer by layer.

    Li Dingguo also saw this scene on the top of the mountain, so he boldly mobilized all the defenders on the right line and launched an all-out counterattack against the Japanese pirates.

    "And Xidao Gaojiang couldn't help being surprised. He never expected that the Ming army was actually ambushing an ambush.  Because the two warring parties were too far away, Nishijima Gaojiang and others could not clearly see how many troops were on the opposite position. They just took it for granted that these were all the Ming army's troops. If they wanted to stop them on the position, they should use all their strength.  To travel.  Didn't know nowAnother Ming army came out and attacked his left side. Nishida Gaojiang couldn't help but think that his intelligence was wrong, or the Ming army had reinforcements.

    Ding Yunyi's decisive attack also became the Huben Guards' last blow against the Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirate soldiers were unable to resist any longer and had to retreat one after another.

    ??Xidao Gaojiang, Chifeng Xuancheng and others also knew that the situation was over and that this campaign was completely defeated, so they had no choice but to turn around and flee.

    Not only did the Japanese pirates not take advantage of Tianze's surprise attack, but they lost all their elite cavalry and were completely defeated.

    Similarly, in this raid by the Japanese pirates, Ding Yunyi intentionally did not take command personally, but handed over the main command power to the young Li Dingguo. He just quietly ambush on the side and played an assisting role.

    Li Dingguo did not live up to Wu Liehou's expectations.

    In the early stages of the battle, he made full use of the huge advantage of artillery to kill the enemy as much as possible.  And when the enemy suddenly started using cavalry, he decisively came up with his own response.

    It can be said that the military talent displayed by Li Dingguo throughout the Battle of Tianze is amazing.

    Ding Yunyi had great expectations for Li Dingguo from the beginning. Even in this battle, he chose to trust Li Dingguo unconditionally.

    And Li Dingguo also completed his task outstandingly.

    Now.  Leave the headache to the Japanese

    Asahi Toshihide did not blame Nishijima Takae too much for the failure. The raid on Tazawa was the only thing they could do at the moment.  It is also the only possible way to solve the siege of Kyoto.

    Faced with despair, Nishijima Takae wants to commit suicide to make up for this humiliation.  Toshihide Asahi shook his head slowly: "Nishijima-kun, what we want now is not to die, but to live tenaciously. Each of our lives does not belong to ourselves, but to His Majesty the Emperor of Japan."

    Nishida Gaojiang nodded silently.

    But he knew that the shadow of failure was hanging over Kyoto when the enemy officially began to attack.  Everything will become unstoppable.

    At that time, the only thing I can do is to die and serve His Majesty the Emperor

    The failure of Tazawa's attack also reached Tokugawa Iemitsu's ears. He did not want to blame his subordinates. If he wanted to defend Kyoto, he must rely on these retainers.

    And when Idarigi comes back.  Tokugawa Iemitsu hurriedly asked him about the situation of the Tiger Guards.  Idarigi looked a little sad: "General, it seems difficult to win"

    "What?" Tokugawa Iemitsu was startled: "What do you mean?"

    "The General didn't see it with my own eyes, but I saw it with my own eyes." Idarigi stabilized his emotions: "The Tiger Guards have a large number of artillery, which is very scary. Their artillery can hit very far away, and can  Destroy many things that seemed indestructible. Japan also had artillery, but it was not comparable to the artillery of the Tiger Guards. And their muskets, which I have never seen before, I really can't describe.  In short, when countless guns start to roar, all obstacles will be torn to pieces, and these may not be the most terrifying things. The most terrifying thing is the determination of those soldiers to win"

    "Enough. Enough!" Tokugawa Iemitsu interrupted him irritably: "Date, who are you talking about? Isn't it possible that in your heart, no one can defeat the Ming army?"

    "It's the Tiger Guards, not the Ming Army." Idarigi was not afraid because of this: "General, although the Tiger Guards are also the Ming Army, they are actually different. I have also been to the Ming Dynasty.  I have seen the Ming Dynasty army. They are two completely different concepts. The combat effectiveness of the Hu Ben Guards is far stronger than that of the Ming Dynasty army. This is not all. Their soldiers are united and loyal.  They have a seemingly innate admiration for their leader Ding Yunyi. They never doubt anything Ding Yunyi says, and they always follow the orders given by Ding Yunyi to the letter.  I'm willing to die for him!"

    When Idarigi said this, he quietly paid attention to the general's expression. He found that the general's brows were tightly locked together, and he was very unhappy.

    ¡°But Idariki decided to keep talking, because this is not only related to the future of Japan, but also related to his own future.

    During the Battle of Chishi Mountain, he witnessed with his own eyes the terrifying combat effectiveness of the Tiger Guards. Once the Tiger Guards decided to launch a desperate attack, Kyoto would face only one fate:

    Destruction!

    And it is a complete and hopeless destruction!

     "General, how can you win with such an army? Negotiate, negotiate with the enemy, and I am willing to serve as an envoy again." Idarigi said with all his efforts.

    Tokugawa Iemitsu smiled coldly: "Date, I once had unlimited trust in you. Even though you were deceived by Ding Yunyi in Satsuma Domain, I have never wavered in this trust. But now you have  I¡¯m so disappointed. You¡¯re tired, please go back and have a good rest.¡±

    Idarigi wanted to say something else, but the general was no longer willing to pay attention to him

    The lost Ida Rigi returned to his home, where his wife Haruko and son Ida Benzon were already waiting for him.

    Facing the concerned inquiries from his wife and son, Idarigi was silent for a long time, and then let out a long sigh: "Japan is over."

    "Father, what did you say?" Date Honzon was a little surprised: "Is it really impossible to defend Kyoto?"

    "No more, no more." Ida Ruigi murmured: "I have never seen such a terrifying army. Once they launch a full-scale offensive, the entire Kyoto will be crushed into powder. The fate of the Date family may be changed accordingly.  And a transformation occurs"

    He did not want to hide any of his thoughts in front of his wife and son: "Now there are only two ways for Date's family. One is to jointly defend Kyoto with the generals, but the outcome is already doomed. The other is to control one's own destiny.  in the hand.¡±

    Ida Benzong seemed to hear something: "Father, have you and Ding Yunyi reached some agreement?"

    Idarigi nodded: "Yes, I have indeed reached some agreements with him. But Wuliehou is very tolerant and generous. He does not need me to do anything to betray Japan. He only wants me to be in Huben  After Wei captured Kyoto, he was able to step in and stabilize the order in Kyoto, but I can't wait aimlessly here, I have to do something"

    Speaking of this, his face was full of complexity: "Kyoto will be captured sooner or later. Many Japanese have already served under Ding Yunyi. If I just wait here stupidly, then after Kyoto is captured,  I will not be reused, and the Date family will lose its former glory. At that time, what hope do we have? "

    "Father, please tell me what you want to do." Date Honmune's voice rose slightly: "The general insists on ruining Japan, so let us save Japan's fate."

    "It is to save the fate of the Date family." In front of his son, Date Ridge did not have to show how noble he was: "Open rebellion is impossible. Not only will it fail, but the Date family will be in Kyoto."  There is a possibility of being destroyed before the city is broken, and this will be despised by all Japan. This is irrational behavior, so what I have to do now is to organize all the forces that can be organized, and then wait for the opportunity.  The entry of the Tiger Guards."

    Date Honzon listened nervously as his father continued: "The first is our retainers, and the second is the Japanese who have the same thoughts as us. The first point is for me to do, and the second point is left to you.  . But remember, you must be careful and don't let the general notice it at all."

    "Hai, I will not let down my father's expectations." Date Honzon said loudly: "No matter how difficult it is, I will do my best to complete this task. For Japan, and for the future of the Date family."

    Idarigi forced a smile, now all the future is in his own hands!
