Chapter 94: Weakness to return to the sky
Chaoyang was rising, Dongfang Weibai. After suffering from iron cannon attacks and suppression all night, the soldiers guarding the city could finally relax their tense nerves, hide behind the female wall and stretch properly, ready to face a new battle.
Considering the stabilizing soldiers' emotions, Yang Yuan also moved the command post from the inner city to the Di Tower overnight, paying attention to the changes outside the city. After enduring for an hour, he finally waited until dawn and listened with his ears. The sound of gunfire outside the city became much more sparse. Yang Yuan smiled and said to the generals: "Listen to it."
There is not much ammunition to go to the Japanese pirates, and it is time for us to counterattack. Lord Ren, send an order to mobilize artillery on the top of the city to fight back. This time, we must give them some colors."
"As for the orders." Ren Xuan took the order respectfully and slightly excitedly and thought to himself that he must avenge General Shin Ho today!
But as soon as Ren Xuan stepped out of the room, he heard a loud "boom". His whole person, along with the wooden door, was suddenly bounced back into the house by a shock wave and fell to the wall. Ren Xuan vomited blood in his mouth, trying to remove the pottery pieces that were all over his chest, but his hands had already blown up and blood splashed
All over the floor, he looked at Yang Yuan with difficulty, and he was stammering something in his mouth. Before Yang Yuan could get closer, his neck tilted and died.
"What's going on?" Yang Yuan roared like crazy, but before the generals could answer, a larger explosion sounded around him. The sound shook the world one after another, causing panic all over the city in an instant. Yang Yuan wanted to take the generals out to check it out several times.
The broken hands and feet that were shocked into the house blocked the way. What's more, a Ming soldier who was shocked into the house climbed in front of Yang Yuan, grabbed his armor tightly, cried and shouted, "Give me back my legs", and eventually died of blood.
Stepping on the remains of the victims and the red flags, Yang Yuan walked out of the dysplain carefully. The scene in front of him blinded his eyes. The smoke of gunpowder swept across every battlement on the city tower. The screams and howlings of slaughter pierced their hearts, and blood mixed with gunpowder sprayed.
On everyone's faces, fragments of corpses occasionally flew into the bloody armor, making a moan unique to hell.
"The big thing is wrong. The Japanese pirates have filled Yangma City!" Jiang Biao staggered back to the corner and cried in despair.
Yang Yuan wiped off the blood on his face, opened his eyes wide and looked out the south gate. He saw a large number of Japanese soldiers standing on the straw piles high in Qicheng. He first threw and baked them. After they exploded, he immediately jumped over the female wall with his guns, assassinated the panicked defenders, and occupied the scattered brigades to open up the battlefield.
Roasting is a grenade-like weapon that fills gunpowder into a pot and ignites the fuse to throw the enemy. There is a rope on the pot and throws it with centrifugal force. One can kill the enemy soldiers, and the other can ignite the nearby wooden structure. Its explosive power and ceramic fragments are the main force for damage. It is used by the Murakami Navy, the Nome Navy and other Seto Inland Sea navy, and is also a special equipment of the Maori family.
When fired as a projectile, it is also called baking jade. The weapon responsible for launching is also called baking fire arrows, similar to the "Flying Fire God Crow" of the Ming Dynasty.
"I underestimated the Japanese pirates." Yang Yuan's voice was low, and a sense of loss appeared in his eyes. However, as the general, the lives of the 4,000 defenders in the city were in his own hands. How could he give up easily at this moment? "All the generals obeyed the orders and followed me to surround the Japanese pirates. They must not let them enter the city!"
"The last general (lower official) obeys the order!" Seeing that Yang Yuan was not in trouble, the generals were also excited, and pulled out their swords and went to kill each clutch.
Along the way, smoke was rolling and sorrow was everywhere. With the sound of explosions, the defenders were thrown into the air one by one and fell to the ground one by one. Each squadron was filled with a tragic scene of swords and blood flowing into a river. Due to the shock and damage of roasting, the front-line defenders began to lose their support, especially the temporary Korean defenders, who were temporarily formed, were even more scattered. Before the Japanese army could reach the front, they were frightened by roasting and fled to the city gate in panic.
Fortunately, several main mercenaries were guarded by the Ming army. These Liaodong cavalry were exposed to firearms all year round, so they were not scared away by baking. Not only that, after receiving the news that Yang Yuan personally took the battle, the morale of the army was greatly boosted. They resisted the Japanese attacks and suppressed them tightly around the mercenaries.
Seeing that the Ming army was in a reversal, Xiuyuan immediately ordered the iron cannon foot under the city to Yangma City, shoot the Ming army from a long distance, and support the Japanese army on the front line.
As the vanguard of the South Gate, Yoshikawa Hirokata personally led 500 soldiers to attack the trough above the South Gate. The one who faced him was Deputy General Yang Yuan and the commander of the Ma Army Jiang Biao. This man followed Yang Yuan for many years and was loyal to him, so he used a three-foot-three-long Miao sword, nicknamed "Jiang Dadao".
When he confronted him, the Guang family had no advantage at all. Seeing his personal soldiers being cut by melons and vegetables, he had no choice but to take the position he had finally occupied was taken away bit by bit.
"This group of short-legged donkeys are just right to exchange for military achievements." Jiang Biao waved his big sword and rushed left and right among the Japanese army. In a short while, he cut off more than a dozen heads. These heads were used to exchange for military achievements, otherwise he would not have had to cut the Japanese army's neck.
Under the leadership of Jiang Biao, the Ming army became more and more braver in the battle. They almost broke into the Guang family's own formation several times. Fortunately, they were all blocked by their retainers. "How can I explain this result to the general?" Guang family sweated and she trembled and imagined the scene of being disposed of by military law.
"Master Yoshikawa!" A familiar voice came from behind into Hiroki's ears.
"It's the Tada Bud Guard!" Hirokaya turned his face and couldn't help but burst into tears: The head of the Maori family's iron cannon team, Ida Bud Guardyaya, had led 500 iron cannons to climb the haystack, and aimed at the Ming army guarding the city in unison.
"Everyone lie down!" Guang family shouted. Although everyone didn't know the reason, it was a military order after all, so they had to fall to the ground immediately. The Ming army did not understand Japanese and was still moving forward, but the situation was reversed five minutes later.
Three hundred iron cannons aimed at the small trunk at the same time. With the order of the loyal guards, as the black smoke slowly rose, three hundred projectiles shot towards the Ming army in the dark with lightning speed. In an instant, a muffled sound of metal shooting through the body was burst out. Then nearly one hundred Ming army vomited blood and fell down in response. The victory and defeat were determined in an instant.
After the smoke of gunpowder, the Guang family led everyone to hold a sword in his hand to "check" whether there were survivors. As expected, nearly one-third of the Ming army was only injured and not enough to die. However, in front of the Guang family, they had to die even if they did not die. "If you don't die, you will get a sword." This is the Guang family's order.
When he walked to Jiang Biao, the Guang family was shocked. Although he weighed more than ten guns, he still held the Miao knife in his hand and wanted to swing it to the Guang family. Of course, this was futile. Before he could lift it up, he was poked into a hornet's nest by eight feet. "I buried this general well. My Guang family is like a pig or dog in front of him." The Guang family closed his eyes for Jiang Biao, silently saved him and stood up and left.
With the victory of Hiroka family, the South Gate was already close. In order to support Hideto, Kiyoshi Kato and others also increased their attacks. Since the situation in the South Gate was the most severe, most of the troops were concentrated. In contrast, the forces of the other three gates were too short.
As expected, at noon, Qingzheng took the lead in breaking through the North Gate, and the general Li Xinfang, sent by Yang Yuan, was also killed in battle, and all the seven hundred Ming troops died in their country.
Ten thousand troops entered one after another, and the defenders in the city caught them off guard and became unjust souls. Qingzheng had only one purpose, which was to rush to the South Gate to meet with the Guang family and kill Yang Yuan.
Qingzheng led the cavalry to go first, and the war horses rushed over in blood. Wherever the horse's hooves were trampled, there was a sound of bone breaking. Looking at the black smoke above the south gate, Qingzheng laughed wildly: "Old Mr. Yang Yuan, I will definitely tear you into pieces!"
