It is surprisingly similar. Compared with the square formation of the Shogunate East Army, Mao Jue's Western Army was also arranged into a square town. With Maori Hide only 13,000 people, Shimazu Mitsuha 29,000 people, Fukushima Masao led 10,000 Randons to form the Right Army in Hengju Mountain, and the second row behind it was 8,000 Dongjiang reserve troops as the rear.

Kuroda's 26,000 troops, Kinmatsu Kinamaki, and 19,000 troops, as left armies, were arranged in the Dodon Mountains to form the left armies, where 7,000 Dongjiang reserve troops were suppressed.

The central army was naturally Mao Jue himself, the ten regiments of Tieyi, the five regiments of Jeju Island, and the Dongjiang Horse Riding Team were at the forefront, with the 20,000 North Korean soldiers who were best at fighting, and about 10,000 ronin troops thrown behind the formation.

The entire formation was half the thickness of the shogunate army, but the width was almost the same as the shogunate army.

However, as soon as the war started, more than 90,000 front troops in the Eastern Army were like iron hammers, and they smashed hard at Mao Jue's Central Army, which was less than 20,000.

The animal husbandry industry in Japan is really primitive. There are no pigs, sheep, mules, and donkeys. Apart from chickens, you can rarely see ducks and geese. There are only cattle and horses in the livestock. The number of animals is still very small. Akagii I am one of the few cavalrymen.

They were all picked up from Takeda Aibei's corpse. This cavalry formed the ace force of the Four Heavenly Kings of Tokugawa. As soon as the battle began, hundreds of meritorious cavalry wrapped in large painted red armor and wearing ghost masks rushed forward and rushed forward to Mao Jue's position.

Not to mention, this hideous ghost mask really scares hundreds of cavalry rushing wildly, like galloping fire ghosts, while running, holding up the sword and making a creeping ghost cry. Wen Meng, who was fighting in the middle, was frightened.

"Damn, what's this thing?"

The coolest and most valued. As Wen Meng grinned, the gun positions of several nearby groups moved in this direction, and rows of dark muzzles were also circled here together.

"Master!"

Another slogan that I really don’t understand why General Zheng shouted like this. Suddenly, the Ming army’s guns and cannons were heard, and all the lights gathered on the red grimace cavalry team.

The dense smoke of gunpowder blocked the battlefield. For a few seconds, he slapped the thick gunpowder smoke and coughed Wen Meng before he could see clearly in front of him. He couldn't help but grin and laughed again.

"So this thing will die!"

This time, Mao Jue did not use shrapnel for the first time, and instead used the shotgun commonly used by the Ming army. The red cannon shot iron sand flat, and it could only shoot about 100 meters. With the musket, it would have smashed the red-clothed ghost cavalry, leaving only a red spot in front of the formation.

But before Wen Meng grinned and cheered, Sun Chun's sharp and angry voice had already sounded suddenly.

"Come on the medicine quickly! Fight back! Why are you standing there?"

Behind the cavalry were countless iron gunners trotting and followed them out of the formation. They hurriedly followed the cavalry team of Akigiii. Almost as soon as Akigiii retreated, they emerged.

It has to be admitted that during the Korean War in Wanli, the Ming Dynasty's muskets were not as good as the Japanese. The Ming Dynasty and the Li Dynasty coalition forces suffered a lot in front of these iron cannons. Seeing the black muzzles, the Dongjiang army also began to load them up in a panic. The soldiers who did not shoot in the back row changed to the front row. Almost at the same time, the guns of both sides burst out with the iron fire of death.

Puchi~ Puchi~ Bulks burst out with gorgeous blood on the body, and bodies fell to the ground one after another. The originally neat Japanese iron gunners were suddenly beaten like jagged teeth, and they were bumpy. However, the Dongjiang Army also paid a price. In the shogunate iron cannon team, part of which was strengthened, and the caliber was almost at the level of a tiger squatting cannon. Even the Dongjiang cold-forged armor piece could not defend against the bullets.

Sitting on the ground, watching the guard beside him vomiting blood, Wen Meng's eyes turned red, and he suddenly opened the hanger on his chest. The bullet the size of a pill ball stuck in the middle of the cold forged armor. The huge impact force made him sink into the entire rib and fractured his bones.

The two reserve soldiers hurriedly carried him and dragged him to the tent behind the formation, and punched him on the sack with several holes. Wen Meng suddenly pulled out the revolver again, shooting at the opposite side continuously while roaring angrily.

"Give me a fight!"

A dense iron stream continued to erupt in front of the two armies.

The largest iron cannon battle in Japan's history is said to be in the Battle of Ishiyama Honanji. Oda Nobunaga's battle against Yixiangsong, but today, the scale is definitely greater. The team has 20,000 to 30,000 flintlock guns and iron cannons against each other, not to mention that the East and West Army and the West Army also have iron cannoners. For a moment, the entire battlefield was filled with smoke and even felt like a hot weapon era. In just a moment, the casualties on the battlefield were almost caught up with the more than 3,000 people in the Sekihara War. Whether it is the pointy bullet in Dongjiang or the heavy pill bullet in the Shogunate, it will be fatal to shoot it.

However, in the bombing, the one who had the advantage was Dongjiang. Who gave them the experience of gunfighting? They had half a man and a high sack chest wall. Moreover, the 13 trained divisions had a reloading speed far exceeding that of the Japanese iron gunners carrying a full 20 to thirty kilograms of iron cannons. Just look at the battlefield, the Japanese who had just filled the position came out from behind, and they were immediately knocked down by stray bullets. In front of the Dongjiang formation, rows of gunfires were sprayed continuously, especially with a rumbling sound, a large piece of iron sand sprayed down on his head and the shogunate army was immediately shot out.

"Baga!"

Tokugawa Iemitsu's mouth was a little twitching. Sitting on the temporary Zhongjun, he turned around and looked around and roared in anger.

"When will the shogunate cannon be transported here!"

In terms of heavy firepower, the shogunate army was completely suppressed and beaten. Hearing the sound of cannon fire, Yukizuki Aoyama's mouth was also twitching. He just got the news that he had never seen the Dongjiang musketeer. The Omichi Hikari who was foolishly leading the Akigii Ii to the formation was directly broken by the cannon. The ancestral armor could not be fought even. As soon as the war started, the general was immediately damaged. Not to mention the Ii army, the other vanguard troops all became depressed.

But unlike the general who was eager to wait for the cannon, Aoyama Yukizuki never thought of fighting over Dongjiang on firearms. He simply knelt in front of the general's hall with heavy military salutes and bowed his head suddenly.

"Your Highness General, even if our army's large tubes are transported, its firepower is far from the opponent of the Western Cannons in Dongjiang. Dongjiang is strong in firearms, and our army is strong in bravery. With the iron cannon formation, these Ming people should be allowed to see the martial souls of our shogunate!"

After a moment of silence, Tokugawa Iemitsu suddenly stood up, pressing forward with a golden military fan on his hand, grinning as if he couldn't survive, and hissing sounded like he was roaring.

"The vanguard army assaulted and broke through the defense line of Mao Jue in Dongjiang!"

"Swoosh, step on!"

The military order was passed down, and the Japanese generals were also bearded, as if they wanted to spit out all the air in their lungs. They waved their samurai swords forward. The Japanese did not have pure cavalry troops, and even if there were cavalry, they would march together from the cavalry under a large group of infantry escorts. It was a bit like the later tank tactics. The cavalry broke through the formation, and the infantry behind them rushed forward.

It was extremely spectacular. Such a mixed legion had a total of 70,000 or 80,000 people crossed the hard-to-supported iron gunner array and swarmed forward. Rows of ammunition came over, and rows of warriors fell to the ground, but they could not stop the surging army. They rushed to more than twenty meters. Wen Meng, Pang Dahai, Tian Tao, Kong Youde and other Dongjiang generals also roared together.

"Get the bayonet!"

In the exciting sound, the clamped bayonets that were taken for easy reloading were neatly put on the muzzle. Then, holding the bayonet flintlock rifle that was almost two meters long, the Dongjiang Army formation, which was originally missing several gaps, was lined up in a neat row against the chest wall. The bayonets that were nearly half a meter long were directly pushed out of the wall. In the rapid breathing, the running Japanese samurai arrived in an instant, and the bloody and cruel hand-to-hand combat was about to break out.

Swish~

Countless swords and soldiers collided together, and the sound of metal even exceeded the shouts of people. The two armies were rumbling and explosions one after another. The Japanese had guns and jade, and Mao Jue also had grenades. On the front battlefield, the first chest wall was directly pushed down. The front rows of soldiers even intertwined the formations, and the dog's teeth crossed together. The grenades and jade warriors at the back were thrown at each other with gritting teeth. Each explosion sound was always a dozen.

It is said that strong ships and powerful cannons cannot block justice, but good equipment is really a direct withdrawal of combat effectiveness. Relying on the assembly line operation factory and machine tools, the cotton armor inlaid with cold forged armor in the Tieyi soldiers was cut by one, two or three shots, but the bayonet stabbed the Japanese warrior in the chest and was wiped out, and the person was ruined. Although the bloody hand-to-hand combat was extremely fierce, the battlefield exchange rate was still terrifying, one to ten, and the sharp artillery kept spraying iron and fire on the back of the heavy Japanese army.

At this time, human life was indeed the most valuable thing, but in comparison, the lives of Japanese warriors were even more valuable. Under the fierce stabbing of the three-person Dongjiang Bayonet Team, layers of corpses fell on the battlefield densely.

"Baga!"

When the fierce battle was in full swing, another force came in handy. From the wings of Mao Jue's military formation, groups of ronin wearing light armor and carrying samurai swords rushed out.

In frontal army battles, these people are scumbags. The ronin who lacks the spirit of the army and cooperates with each other can't withstand a charge. However, the frontal battlefield is unfolding and picking up cheap from both wings. Their family is an expert. There are many wandering samurai who have no master who robs and cheats the family. Even one-on-one fights, even Tokugawa Iemitsu's Hashimoto is probably not their opponent. This shogunate shogun, who is already fighting, suddenly emerges from around him with a large group of ronin who holds a samurai sword and chops your dog's head, and is immediately chopped over.

Swish~ A sword light fell, and more than a dozen people were chopped to the ground! Shh~ In the bloody light, a warrior just used a knife to stumble and stab his bayonet, and then another bayonet pierced into his heart with an extremely accurate accuracy! Boom~ Sun Chun knocked down the flintlock machine with his own hands, and the roaring red cannon sprayed a large piece of iron sand, and a large area of ​​more than a dozen soldiers of the back army covered their bloody faces, and their hands were lying on the ground in pain.

The field battle started at 2 pm and continued until around 5 pm. With the sound of withdrawing troops from the rear, the shogunate vanished and fled behind him as if he was amnesty. He was panting and fleeing behind him without caring about it. When he came, he was like a rising tide, and when he retreated, he was like a tide. The bodies of fish, shrimp, scallops were thrown away all over the ground.

The physical difference was also reflected at this time. After fighting for three hours, many shogunate soldiers could not move, but the Dongjiang Army was still full of fighting spirit. Although they were breathing, they were still full of fighting spirit. With a slash, they stabbed the warrior who turned around and ran away from behind and was heartbroken, and exhaled. One meter eight or nine, the iron-right general Kong Youde, who was like a bear, actually picked up the man alive and resisted it on his shoulders.

"Come on! Grandpa hasn't killed enough yet!"

Blood was dripping down, and the dying warrior screamed shrillly and his hands and feet, and even put a layer of terrifying coat like a demon on the roaring Kong Youdemon. Listening to his roar, the escaping shogun was completely terrified, and there were still a few of them with weak legs that could not escape. They simply knelt on the ground and kowtowed suddenly. Following Kong Youde, many people also arrogantly knocked on the weapons.

The outcome of this battle has not yet been decided, but Dongjiang undoubtedly has the upper hand.

…………

The bloody day finally ended in the contact between the two sides completely separated. Night fell, and campfires burned in the formation of the two armies, but they had not stopped on the battlefield. Regardless of the tired soldiers and those satisfied roninmen were constantly picking and picking up, cutting their heads for military merits. From time to time, there were still dead wounded soldiers screaming in fear. Listening to the hearts of the East Army samurai camping on the other side of the Kizu River, it made people feel as if they were crying.

The wounded soldiers were dragged back and lay there all over the curtain, and they screamed grinning, bringing hell to the earth.

The iron sand shotgun is actually not lethal enough, and it is often beaten to death by one piece, but the consequences are often better than being beaten to death on the spot. The whole face is covered in blood and blood. Several warriors screamed shrillly and were tied to the bed. The military doctors used small knives to remove the iron sand from their flesh. The screams were even astonished as Yuki Cheng of Aoyama who was passing by was frightened, so they quickly made an appointment with this area.

The Japanese and Dongjiang were really one in the sky and the other underground. At this time, every soldier in Dongjiang hummed a small tune and stirred the canned bamboo braised pork and canned tomato sauce fish in the big pot. The shogun was on the table with a small fish two fingers wide, a bowl of rice and a bowl of miso soup with clear sea dishes. However, all of this was not the only thing Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't want to eat, and knocked on the chopsticks one by one. It was not until Yuki Aoyama came in that he stood up quickly.

"Qingshan Gong, how about it?"

"Today's deaths and serious injuries are in the number of eight thousand, and minor injuries are really counted. I'm a criterion, and Mito Matsuhei's army is broken. The vanguard army may be replaced tomorrow!"

"Where is the Dongjiang Army?"

"I don't know!"

The entire imperial tent suddenly fell into silence. In one day, one-thirty of the shogunate army was killed, and the casualties were so heavy that it was terrifying. After a long time of silence, the old Chinese Inaba Masato asked.

"What about the left army and the right army?"

"When Ianba, the left and right troops suffered little casualties. Although there were large-scale conflicts with the Maori family, Shimazu family and other rebellions, only a few hundred people were killed."

"General, you can't continue to fight like this!"

Suddenly, Inaba Masao walked out of the dining table with a heartache and knelt in front of Tokugawa Iehiko.

"General, the strongest person in the Western Army is Tohoku. Just like the Yukimura Sanada in the Osaka Formation, even if he beats the shogunate, he will suffer many casualties and injuries. There are not many left. He should have changed the main attack direction, focusing on the Maori family or Shimazu family. If he breaks his arm, Mao Jue will definitely be unable to support him."

"The old minister dared to ask the general to follow the original tactics of Iekam, use the flag army as bait, and drag the Dongjiang army into the formation!"

This is about to change the formation. When I heard it, Yuki Aoyama's heart was beating violently like a drum. Matsuhira Nobuzu's words were still in my ears. Never implement this tactic!

But in the entire tent, dozens of famous names, such as Hiroshi Matsuhira and Tadashi Ida nodded and said yes. When he spoke, he swallowed them back.

Looking around, Tokugawa Iehiro nodded heavily.
Chapter completed!
