Yuyang County.

This is a county in the north of Jinling Prefecture.

Now, this place has been conquered by the First Army.

Three thousand Japanese soldiers in the city were killed and injured.

After taking this county town, the portal of Jinlingcheng opened.

Next, they will directly attack Jinlingcheng, the governing palace of Mingzhou.

"General, we found that the Japanese army was gathering, and the number of scouts in Japan was increasing." The scouts were reporting to Chen Xian.

"Very good. It seems that we have forced the Japanese people to get angry and let them gather. It is best to assemble all the Japanese troops here and solve them at once." Chen Xian stood on the head of Yuyang County and was in a good mood.

After saying that, he immediately ordered his commander to set up an encirclement around Yuyang County.

Once the Japanese army enters the pocket array they set up.

All Japanese troops were wiped out.

Five days later.

The Japanese army that went out to fight and looted returned to Jinling City one after another.

After counting, there are still 140,000 Japanese troops left.

Among them, 80,000 were troops equipped with flintlock guns and firearms.

Standing on the city wall, looking at the huge army, Suzuki Yamano gradually regained his confidence.

Now, their navy was destroyed by Jingzhou warships.

Become an isolated army on land.

Moreover, based on the judgment of the navy generals, the subsequent Japanese warships could not reach Rongchao.

In this way, they are now an isolated army.

Faced with such a dilemma, the only way for him was to attack Jingzhou north.

As long as he defeated Jingzhou on land, he could force the Jingzhou Navy to retreat.

So, after deep thought, he decided to take a gamble.

"Soldiers, we have no way out to retreat. Only by attacking Jingzhou and capturing that King Jing alive can we win the victory. For His Majesty, for the Great Japan, fight to the death! Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death! Fight to the death!" More than 100,000 voices sounded on the roads outside the city.

Soon, the Japanese army set sail and headed towards Yuyang County.

They received news that more than 30,000 Jingzhou troops are currently in Yuyang County.

One day later.

A mighty 140,000 Japanese troops entered the jurisdiction of Yuyang County.

At this time, the Jingzhou army had already completed the pocket formation.

The entire Jingzhou army was distributed like an open pocket.

After all the Japanese army enters, they will cut off the retreat of the Japanese army.

This will completely complete the annihilation of the Japanese army.

An hour later, the Japanese army arrived in Yuyang City.

This is, Chen Xian is already waiting outside the city.

Machine gun positions, artillery positions, and infantry positions are intertwined, waiting for the Japanese army to arrive.

"When all the subsequent troops arrive, then attack." Suzuki Yamano did not launch an attack first.

Although he was extremely angry, he remained awake.

He knew that he could not lose. Once he lost, all the plans for the Eastern Expedition to Rongchao would fail.

In another half a day, all the 140,000 Japanese troops arrived outside Yuyang County.

The next morning, Suzuki Yamano launched an attack on the prefecture.

"Dadada..."

Facing the Japanese soldiers who were charging intensively, the machine guns opened fire as soon as possible.

In the middle lane, Chen Xian concentrated thirty machine guns.

Before the first wave of Japanese soldiers rushed over, they all fell to the ground.

In the Japanese army, Suzuki Yamano stood up in disbelief.

He saw the weapons in the Jingzhou army that were constantly spitting out flames.

Every time the tongue of flame appears, the soldiers will fall down one by one.

Now, he finally understood why the soldiers in Donghai City disappeared without a trace.

Obviously, the Jingzhou army was equipped with more advanced firearms than them.

Other generals also realized this problem and gathered in front of him, waiting for new orders.

But the Jingzhou Army did not give them time to think.

The Jingzhou army, who was originally at the gate of the county town, suddenly stepped forward and moved the terrifying firearm to a position closer to them.

Many Jingzhou soldiers also lined up to raise their weapons to them.

"Dadada..."

"Bang bang bang..."

The sound of machine guns and rifles intertwined, and Japanese soldiers kept falling down.

The howling sounded throughout the battlefield.

At this time, Japanese soldiers also realized the horror of this weapon.

They are simply dying now.

"Retract back to Kinling Castle first." Suzuki Yamano shouted.

He never thought of encountering a situation like this, and he needed to go back and plan carefully.

The Japanese army was ordered to retreat.'

The road is filled with people and horses.

But they didn't go much further along the official road when they came.

A hairy "da da" sound suddenly sounded in the jungle on both sides of the official road.

When Japanese soldiers looked at it, there was a bright light in the woods.

The soldiers hiding inside at that time.

It turned out that the soldiers of Jingzhou had already ambushed here, just waiting for them to retreat.

The news reached Suzuki Yamano's ears, and he immediately followed the guide and wanted to withdraw from the road to the east.

But on that road, they were also ambushed.

At this time, Suzuki Yamano finally realized that they had been surrounded by Jingzhou troops.

"Fight with them!" Suzuki Yamano fell into madness.

He pulled out his sword, stepped onto the war horse, and led the soldiers to fight to the pursuers who were following him.

But before he could rush out, he saw the soldiers of Jingzhou put the terrifying weapon in front of him again.

"Dadada..." A nightmare-like voice rang again.

The war horses under his command whined and suddenly fell to the ground.

The huge inertia threw him away from his horse and hit his head hard on the ground.

He fainted after his eyes turned dark.

Suzuki Yamano fell off his horse, and the Japanese army was even more confused when facing the fierce attack of Jingzhou's army.

Running wildly on the road like a headless fly.

Just then, the rumbling sound of horse hooves rang out.

The cavalry of the First Army was dispatched.

They raised the saber in their hands and stabbed into the Japanese army like a sharp knife.

Under the encirclement in three directions, the Japanese army had collapsed.

Now it's their turn to finish it.

The war lasts from morning to evening.

More than 100,000 Japanese soldiers were killed or injured.
