Chapter 371 Slaughter
"Report! The Jingbei Army is eight miles away and is still approaching!"
"Report! The Jingbei Army is five miles apart, but it still has not changed its direction!"
Listening to the news that the horse kept coming back, sweat had already oozed out of Zhang Chen's forehead.
"Mr. Zhang! What are the Jingbei Army doing? We are the soldiers of the imperial court. Can they really dare to go to war with us?" Feng Bao also had no idea and said anxiously.
"The entire battalion is on guard and strictly prevent the attack of the Jingbei Army!"
Zhang Chen had a blue veins on his forehead and gritted his teeth and ordered. If it weren't for the dark night, he would have planned to retreat. More than 10,000 Jingbei Army would not be able to rival him in Jizhen.
Especially when the soldiers and horses in Jizhen have suffered most of the casualties recently, and the number of new recruits has been added. There is only one result in the attack at this time, that is, the defeat and death.
But he could not give orders to retreat. Once chaos arises in the dark, the Jingbei Army does not need to chase and kill them, and the entire army will collapse.
Zhang Chen was gambling, and the Jingbei Army did not dare to attack his camp. After all, they represented the court and the Ming Dynasty.
"Report! The Jingbei Army is two miles north of the Daying!"
Hearing the voice of the messenger, Zhang Chen and Feng Bao breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. The target of the Jingbei Army was not them.
Zhang Chen let out a long sigh, then his face changed: "No! The Japanese camp is in danger!"
...
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
In the dark night, artillery fires spewed out hot flames, and shells hit the Japanese camp. The wooden camp was like paper, and many gaps were torn apart in a short time.
Teams of Jingbei soldiers approached the Japanese camp and fired muskets in their hands, knocking down the Japanese who blocked the gap.
Just as the Japanese were exhausted from dealing with the attack of the Jingbei Army in front of them, dozens of lines of fire rose up behind them, and then a violent explosion occurred in the camp.
"Jingbei Army! Advance!"
The shelling lasted for an entire hour before Qi Jin issued an order to attack. After the soldiers outside the camp quickly cleared the way, chariots rushed into the Japanese camp.
Soon the Japanese could not hold on, and the Japanese rushed out of the camp and fled in scattered ways. They were attacked head-on by musketeers waiting outside. Most of the Japanese chose to kneel down and surrender, and a very small number of Japanese fled into the mountains and forests in the dark.
The battle lasted until the sky was slightly bright, with nearly 10,000 Japanese killed and wounded, and more than 50,000 Japanese captured.
"Sir! You didn't see that Zhang Chen's Jizhen soldiers were so cowardly. We were only two miles away from them, and they didn't dare to go out to intercept them.
If I hadn't been afraid of delaying the time for the joint attack on the Japanese, I really wanted to destroy them!" Chen Wei said with a smile after paying homage to Qi Jin.
The complete annihilation of the Japanese army made everyone smile. The navy brought the army to land and surrounded the enemy's retreat, which gave Jingbei Army more means to defeat the enemy.
Qi Jin was not as happy as others, and said with a frown: "No! Where are there more than 10,000 Japanese people?"
...
"Kill them all and slaughter the city!" A warrior held up his bloody Japanese sword and shouted loudly. The warrior following him also roared like a beast, ruthlessly chopping down everyone he saw.
Behind them were streets stained with blood and corpses. Even domestic animals, pigs and dogs were not spared, and even living creatures could not escape death.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi held the Japanese sword and let the blood drip from it. Smelling the breath of blood and listening to his subordinates' flattery, his blood boiled, and his depression that had been suppressed by the Jingbei Army for several days was wiped out.
Listening to the wailing of the whole city, he found a feeling of youth, and even the pain in his chest was relieved a lot.
A few days ago, he secretly evacuated from the battlefield with more than 10,000 elite troops and accumulated food and grass. It took Toyotomi Hideyoshi four days to walk out of the mountains and forests.
More than three thousand people stayed in the mountains and forests forever, but when they entered the unprepared Changjin County, it was all worth it.
"Before darkness, we are left with little time!" Toyotomi Hideyoshi gave a cold order.
"Hi!" The warrior beside him quickly bowed and responded.
At this moment, suddenly, a woman's scream and a man's scolding came from the house next to him. Toyotomi Hideyoshi frowned and walked towards the house next to him.
As soon as they approached, the door of the courtyard was pushed open. Two Japanese men walked out of the inside with their pants. Seeing Toyotomi Hideyoshi and his group, they quickly tied their pants and bowed, "See..., I've seen Lord Taizheng! I..., we..."
Toyotomi Hideyoshi glanced at the yard, and several corpses were traversing in the yard. A woman with red fruit was penetrated by a bamboo gun and was nailed to the tree. The blood followed the woman's bruised skin and dyed a big red floor.
"What are you doing in Ishii-kun? I remember the order given was to massacre the city, and what are you doing? Cough cough!" Toyotomi Hideyoshi shouted in a deep voice, and after saying that, he coughed repeatedly.
Ishii and the others knelt down quickly and kowtowed, "Sir, please spare your life! Anyway, they are all massacres, so who cares about how these people die?
Please forgive me for this time, and I will definitely die for you!"
"Yoxi! Disobey the military order and behead them according to the order!" Toyotomi Hideyoshi said something, not only Ishii, but also the faces of the surrounding generals changed.
In the past, there have been many cases of massacres. The rewards from the slaughtering opponents allowed them to vent their animal desires, but this time it was a little different.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi didn't look at Ishii and said loudly: "You guys! We abandon our army and returned to Korea to tell the world that our great Japanese is invincible!
We must use killing and blood to tell the Ming people that the Great Japanese samurai will never surrender!
Therefore, we cannot waste any time and slaughter every city we encounter before the other party can react!
I don't allow you to waste your time on things that have nothing to do with killing, even a slightest bit!
We must make North Korea tremble, the Ming people fear, and the Jingbei Army tremble!
Only in this way can they not attack the mainland of Great Japan and His Majesty the Emperor can be safe.
For His Majesty the Emperor, I would like to ask you all!”
Two bloody heads fell to the ground, and the Japanese were left with only killing, and they were slaughtered before it was dark.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi did not stop in Changjin County. He led his men south and slaughtered Yaode County and Yangde, and went straight to the Joseon Royal City to kill him.
The Japanese suddenly returned to North Korea and were shocked by everyone. The Koreans had been crippled and had no power to stop the crazy Japanese, so they had to ask for help from the Ming Dynasty again.
...
"Li Chengliang! You are sitting there and watching the Japanese slaughter the Korean people but still holding their troops. What is your intention?"
Zhang Chen in Hongshan County shouted at Li Chengliang in a furious manner. Since he heard that the Japanese were completely wiped out, Zhang Chen did not dare to stay for a moment and hurriedly retreated to North Korea.
