After Zhang Tong, the chief general of the Pou Nu Army's Yixing Camp, ordered the camp to be set up, he ordered Qian Zong Meng Ruhai to lead 1,500 war troops to garrison the small hills where the Japanese vanguards formed a formation. This was the key place for the Pou Nu Army's retreat, just like the Jieting during the Three Kingdoms period. Since it was an important place, Qian Zong Meng Ruhai would certainly not camp on the mountain without water, so he chose to garrison the stream on the northwest side of the hill. Originally, Meng Ruhai set up camp to adopt the usual habit of building camps by the Pou Nu Army. The main camp must be close to the water source and can rely on the terrain. Once the war comes, it can take the initiative in the battlefield.

Originally, there was no big problem with choosing a site for this camp on the grassland, but in the current battlefield, it was a mile and a half away from the main road. In Meng Ruhai's view, the Posou Army had a crossbow that could easily cover a mile and a half road, which was enough to deal with any sudden battle situation. The Posou Army defeated the main force of Japan in a battle today, and the entire army had more or less Japanese combat power, which was so underestimated. Even Zhang Tong, the commander who commanded the battle today, had a day of food and prepared to go to bed after setting up the camp site.

The Pou Nu Army set up two camps with mutual support in the north of Jinchuan Village. The camp in the southeast was Chu Liuxiang's vanguard camp. The main camp slightly backward was only a hundred feet away from the vanguard camp. Once the war broke out, the two battalions could support it as soon as possible. The victory of the initial battle of this battle made Zhang Tong feel a lot of nervousness. When he observed the enemy formation in the afternoon, he only saw more than 10,000 enemy troops lined up outside the camp to defend the Pou Nu Army's attack. Moreover, the Japanese military formation was not much different from the military formations listed by the vanguard, and it was mainly the tall wooden shield formation. However, the number of the enemy formations in Jinchuan Village increased. The four wooden shield formations with twenty meters apart consumed at most for the Pou Nu Army, which had superior firepower.

Similarly, the Japanese general Tokugawa Aoshi, as the general of the party (author's note: the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army during wartime), was quite familiar with the terrain here. He had always sent scouts to investigate the war tactics of the Pou Nu Army and all the situations of the scout activities of the Pou Nu Army. Gradually, Tokugawa Aoshi discovered the rules of the Pou Nu Army's scout activities, which was that it was not suitable for careful observation of the complex terrain, and the scope of the Pou Nu Army's scouts was only twenty miles away. Tokugawa Aoshi was deeply aware of the strength of the Pou Nu Army. Before the war, he recruited a large number of civil servants to join the army, and asked his retainers to preach the cruelty of the Pou Nu Army during the war and how cruel and ruthless treatment of prisoners was to the newly enlisted civil servants.

In fact, Tokugawa Akishi was a little overwhelmed at that time. The Japanese people also knew that the invaders of the Po Slave Army would bring a catastrophe to their families, just like the Mongolian Khan wanted to conquer Japan hundreds of years ago. Faced with the crisis of national destruction, even ordinary people would show great resentment towards the invaders. The Japanese people also knew a simple truth. Even the Japanese Daming exploited them was an internal affairs of the Japanese tribe. As the invaders, the Po Slave Army not only wanted them to destroy their country, but also used them and their families as slaves to bully them for their lives. Therefore, the Japanese people's enthusiasm for resisting the Po Slave Army's invasion was unprecedentedly high. They cut down bamboos and made bamboos to grab them without weapons, and wore two more pieces of worn clothes at home without armor. Apart from lacking combat skills, the Japanese people's will is no worse than that of Japanese soldiers.

Tokugawa Aoshi set out from Kii and had been recruiting troops. When he arrived at Mishi, he had already had a fifteen-footed civil servant Wan Dajun. Tokugawa Aoshi two deputy generals were his younger brothers Tokugawa Aoshi and Tokugawa Masao. Tokugawa Aoshi had far-reaching plans. He always hid this army of more than 100,000 far away from the front line on the grounds that Japanese civil servants had no martial arts skills and needed to be trained temporarily, and led them to basic training by their two younger brothers. The real defense on the front line was all war soldiers composed of major names, with only more than 20,000 people. When the Possess Army showed signs of attacking Mishi, Tokugawa Aoshi began to order the two younger brothers to lead their troops around the main battlefield and ambush them fifty miles southwest and southeast of Jinchuan Village.

During this period, Tokugawa Yuichi also left the temporary recruitment of the people as light soldiers, strengthening the real soldiers to two interspers. When the Possess Army began to camp north of Jinchuan, Tokugawa Yuichi asked the messenger to go to two ambush sites to convey the order of night battle attack. Although Tokugawa Yuichi was not as smart as his brother, he was a calm general. After receiving the order, he ordered the entire army to advance in the dark. Although there were many people suffering from night blindness among the Japanese people, Tokugawa Yuichi was still not allowed to light torches during the march. He would rather walk slowly than be discovered by the powerful Possess Army. Although there were only fifty miles of mountain road, it was better that he could see the road clearly when he set out. In the dark, this army of 60,000 people stumbled all night.

When the Japanese army on the west side who was rushing all night to the Meng Ruhai camp of the Ponu Army, a bright color appeared in the sky to the east. When the Ponu Army soldier found the enemy's traces, tens of thousands of enemy troops were less than one mile away from the Ponu Army camp. One morning is often the most tired time, and the sentry two miles away is also extremely tired because of the exhaustion of the day and the overnight value. When there was no enemy situation overnight, they also took a nap, which created favorable conditions for the Japanese army that had attacked.

With the sound of sentry guns from the Po Nu Army, the soldiers of the Po Nu Army who entered the state of war were not allowed to take off their armor when they were sleeping. They grabbed the weapons beside them and rushed out of the tent. As the Qianmai General Meng Ruhai, who was left behind, climbed the three-zhang wooden tower and looked southwest. When he saw the enemy troops rushing towards the waves, he felt his scalp numb. Meng Ruhai had initially estimated that there were at least 50,000 Japanese people rushing from the southwest. He might be able to protect himself, but he had almost no chance to fight back. As a veteran of the battlefield, Meng Ruhai's first order was to send two cavalry teams to break through, and to inform the enemy of commander Zhang Tong and Xu Manshan, who was responding from the rear, when the enemy had not yet approached the camp, respectively.

When the Pou Nu Army camped, the fence of a camp was strong. No matter how tired the troops were, they had to build a strong camp. Therefore, when the enemy rushed over all over the mountains, the Pou Nu Army guarding the camp was not panicked. They had a lot of experiences. The experienced veterans immediately climbed behind the earth wall with chest height behind the wooden fence. Due to too many enemies, the general officer of the team ordered the fire when the enemy first entered the range. After the crackling sound of muskets, they directly flattened the foot of the Japanese rushing in front and the messenger who went to the main camp and the rear to receive the information from the camp, and took the opportunity to rush out of the camp and gallop south and north.

However, the fanaticism of defeating the invaders made the Japanese soldiers bravely move forward without fear of death. They stepped on the bodies of their companions and encouraged themselves with shouts, and they could also eliminate the fear of death amid the shouts of killing. The Pou Nu Army fired quickly, and only one thousand musket soldiers of the more than 1,000 people made the Japanese soldiers unable to advance quickly in the first fifty battles of the Pou Nu Army camp. Gradually, the piles of high corpses became the main obstacle to the Japanese army's subsequent attack. At this critical moment, the muzzle completed the turn towards the crossbows in the east, and the target of their shooting was the mountain pass where the Japanese soldiers gathered two miles away.

The gunmen of the Pou Nu Army have been veterans on the battlefield many times, so they will not waste precious ammunition on the Japanese soldiers in the formation of scattered soldiers. Their purpose is to block the follow-up power of the enemy's attack, and to share the pressure of the musket soldiers. Although they see that there are only ten crossbow cannons in the Slave Army camp, they are divided into two batches to shoot in turn. The crossbow cannons fired only two rounds of artillery, which successfully blocked the enemy's follow-up reinforcements. The new high explosion of the Pou Nu Army was amazing. Under the impact of the bloodthirsty waves of shock waves produced by the explosion, any living creature that could move around within a radius of seven meters would fall to the ground. The casualties of hundreds of people made the Japanese soldiers rushing forward stop.

Human courage is always so fragile in the face of powerful weapons. Although our attacking soldiers are not afraid of death, they are also afraid of the angry roars like gods. When the subsequent Japanese army was blocked by the explosion, the offensives of thousands of Japanese national football teams entering the outer defense line of the Possess Army gradually reduced with the increase of casualties. The Japanese deputy general Tokugawa Yuyi, who stood three miles away from the battlefield, suddenly showed worries. He also saw the principle of the Possess Army's crossbow shooting from the Possess Army's attacks, which is to attack too concentrated people. For this reason, Tokugawa Yuyi ordered the subsequent army not to concentrate on the mountain road, but to attack the Possess Army camp in all directions in a scattered formation.

In particular, Tokugawa Yuki ordered nearly 10,000 people to ignore the attack of the Ponu Army and forcefully penetrate into the southeast of the Ponu Army camp, and to dig off the road to cut off the connection between the Meng Ruhai camp and Zhang Tong's main camp. Meng Ruhai, who stood on the wooden tower to observe the enemy's movements, saw thousands of enemies bypassing the hill south of the Ponu Army camp and heading straight into the key battlefield, so he would not mention the regret in his heart. If he set up a camp on the mountain, at least he would not have such a big loophole. Now he is too busy to take care of himself, he has no ability to send troops to stop the enemy from cutting off the road.

Just as Meng Ruhai regretted it, he was still thinking about whether to leave the strong camp and fight to ensure the main force's retreat in the field to fight to the critical moment, tens of thousands of enemy troops came from the east. When this wave of enemy troops came to the battlefield, Meng Ruhai almost fell off the wooden tower. Facing the enemy who was hundreds of times more than him, Meng Ruhai felt a deep sense of powerlessness. He really didn't know if he could see the sun tomorrow. The rushing reinforcements of the enemy had completely surrounded Meng Ruhai more than a thousand soldiers of the slave army. Even if they wanted to break through, it was unlikely that they would break out. Since they couldn't run out, Meng Ruhai did not intend to make the Japanese army feel better. He had to kill enough before the enemy Ruhai's army was defeated by the enemy Ruhai's army.

After receiving Meng Ruhai's urgent report, Zhang Tong, the chief general of the Conquering Yixing Camp, immediately ordered the three thousand musket soldiers and one thousand cavalry in the main camp to assault north. He wanted to break through the new defense line of the Japanese army before the enemy's heels stood firm. It was not until this time that Zhang Tong saw clearly the intention of the enemy's master's plan. The Japanese leader wanted to use the complex terrain here to completely surround the Po Nu Army. If the breakout army cannot break the opponent's defense line at once, then the army he led would be the first unit to be completely wiped out by the enemy since the establishment of the Po Nu Army. At this moment, Zhang Tong no longer had the intention to think about a decisive battle with the enemy's main force. The most correct choice was to break through the siege. (To be continued)
