363 Anon County Offense and Defense
The Tokugawa Shogunate's army is indeed quite powerful.
Many of them experienced the Battle of Sekihara and the Battle of Osaka, and their combat experience was quite rich.
Moreover, their equipment is quite excellent, and they have equipped a lot of the most advanced earth guns in Japan.
It can be said that they are invincible existences in Japan, and the infantry of the Satsuma and the Changshu vassal cannot beat them, which has also been verified by Sekihara's joint war.
Unfortunately, they met the Ming army, and the most well-equipped Shenji Camp elite among the Ming army's infantrymen.
These 50,000 elite soldiers of the Shenji Camp can be said to be an invincible existence in the world!
Whether it is to compare individual soldiers' qualities, weapons and equipment, or combat experience, they are far inferior to the elites of the Shenji Camp.
The 50,000 Tokugawa Shogunate army rushed over all over the mountains and the battle began.
The Kanji Camp had guns and cannons and the dense shells and bullets almost instantly destroyed the Tokugawa Shogunate's army.
The Tokugawa Shogunate's army immediately used the sign tactics, charged in a shaky way, and rushed towards the stone fort built by the Ming army with no chance!
This tactic is still very powerful when charging at a short distance.
After all, no matter how many guns and cannons were there in the Ming army, it would be impossible to wipe out these 50,000 troops in one fell swoop.
What's more, the 50,000 elite soldiers of the Shenji Camp were scattered on hillsides and hills more than ten miles long, and the others were only attacking a hillside in front, and the muskets and cannons behind were not enough to reach them.
Soon, the Tokugawa Shogunate's army rushed into several rows of fortresses on the front line and started a hand-to-hand battle with the elites of the Kanji Camp inside.
Of course, the elite Shenji Camp's melee combat is not vegetarian.
He expanded from the Qi family army and was invincible in close combat.
Moreover, the Qi family army's long weapons are specialized in dealing with Japanese pirates.
Unfortunately, their wolves were not brought here because of transportation troubles. Otherwise, these Japanese pirates rushed up to fight them in close combat would be seeking death.
At this moment, because they did not bring wolves and the local number of people was inferior, the Tokugawa Shogunate's army actually captured several fortresses, suppressing the soldiers of the Kanji Camp inside and had to retreat towards the mountains!
Fortunately, they were all wearing black iron armor, and there were many iron shield equipment, so the casualties were not very large.
But the number of them was too different, so they were forced out by others.
Humph, you are the only ones?
Seeing this, Qi Jin ordered without hesitation: "Tell me the order and order all the soldiers in the fortress behind to come out and rush with me!"
After saying that, he pulled out his sword and rushed forward with his personal guards.
Soon, more than 20,000 soldiers of the Shenji Camp who were stationed in the back more than ten miles rushed out of the stone fort and lined up one small mandarin duck array after another to rush forward.
The more people and horses on both sides gathered, and more and more. Nearly 100,000 people quickly gathered on the hillside less than five miles wide in front.
The invincible 50,000 Tokugawa Shogunate army and the invincible 50,000 elite troops of the Kanji Camp launched a crazy fight on this hillside with complex terrain.
At the beginning, the Tokugawa Shogunate's army could still gain some advantage by relying on the local number advantage.
However, after all the 50,000 elite troops of the Shenji Camp rushed up, they could not bear it anymore.
Because when they rushed up the hill, thousands of people were overturned by the guns and cannons of the Shenji Camp. Their total number was one or two percent less than that of the Shenji Camp. In addition, their weapons were disadvantaged, how could they have survived?
After nearly half an hour of fighting, the Tokugawa Shogunate's army could no longer withstand it.
Because they had suffered more than half of their casualties, only a few thousand elite soldiers of the Shenji Camp were killed or killed, and they were almost surrounded by elite soldiers of the Shenji Camp.
In this case, once you are surrounded, you will be dead!
In desperation, the leading generals had to order to withdraw quickly.
If all 50,000 people were told here, the Tokugawa shogunate would not be able to suppress the other princes!
This battle can be said to be the most tragic battle since the conquest of Japan. The soldiers of the Shenji Camp were killed hundreds and injured thousands!
I have to say that the combat effectiveness of these Japanese pirates is really strong.
Taichang had been a little anxious on the flagship, but there were no ports nearby, and most of the navy soldiers were musketeers, so they would not have much effect when they landed on the beach.
He could only use a telescope on the sea to pay attention to the battle situation anxiously, and he couldn't help at all.
Fortunately, the elite troops of the Shenji Camp were still very powerful, and they defeated the Japanese pirates in less than an hour.
As soon as the Japanese pirates retreated like a tide, he ignored Yuan Keli and Shen Yourong's obstruction and directly took the guard master to the wheel boat and waded onto the water to the shore.
Seeing this, Qi Jin was shocked. He quickly sent tens of thousands of people to protect Taichang.
Taichang still walked quickly to the hillside where the fierce battle had just fought.
He glanced around carefully, then said with a serious face: "This Japanese pirate has great combat power. If half of the hundreds of thousands of Japanese pirates have this combat power, the 50,000 elite soldiers of the Shenji Camp probably won't be able to defend this path! General Qi, if the Japanese pirates attack with all their strength, do you have a solution?"
Qi Jin hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the 50,000 troops led by General Qin are on a mountain road less than twenty miles away. If the general feels that he can't stand it, he will be transferred to support them. It will be no problem to rely on the advantage of the geography to defend this road."
OK, just have a solution.
Qi Jin is a long-standing general who has experienced many battles. It is better not to interfere in his specific combat command.
Taichang only hopes that other Japanese pirates are not so powerful, otherwise the Shenji Camp would have suffered heavy casualties.
The other Japanese pirates are naturally not that powerful.
The Tokugawa clan had only 50,000 elite troops, and they killed nearly half of them in this moment!
Maeda Tatsuki was not surprised but happy when he received the news.
Because the Tokugawa shogunate's army had already figured out the situation of the Ming army, it turned out that there were only 50,000 Ming troops stationed on that road!
Moreover, after this battle, the Ming army suffered many casualties.
As long as he leads his army to rush over, he will definitely be able to get a big advantage.
Even if it is possible to take down Shi Jianguo in one fell swoop and retake Shi Jian silver mine.
If you don’t pick up such a big deal, you will have a brain problem.
So, the next morning, he assembled the remaining 300,000 troops and rushed towards Annong County!
The dense army scared Qi Jin.
It is obvious that the Japanese pirates are going to launch a general attack!
Qi Jin ordered people to send orders without hesitation and dispatched 50,000 troops led by Qin Minping to support him.
Maeda Tatsuta also waved the 300,000 army without hesitation and launched a fierce attack on the hillside guarded by the Shenji Camp.
For a moment, the hillside more than ten miles long was densely filled with Japanese pirates, and the shouts of killing even suppressed the roar of artillery!
The dense firepower network built with guns and cannons by 50,000 soldiers of the Shenji Battalion did not kill such a large number of Japanese pirates to stop their crazy pace. Soon, they rushed up.
The two sides immediately launched a fierce hand-to-hand combat.
Maeda Tatsuya thought he would win, 300,000 to 50,000. They just experienced a big battle yesterday and suffered heavy casualties. Can they not win?
They really can't win!
Because these 300,000 troops are the miscellaneous army compiled by Daming and Daming, and are incomparable to the Tokugawa Shogunate's original army.
Although their number is six times higher than that of the Kanji Camp, the casualties caused to the Kanji Camp are not as high as the Tokugawa Shogunate's own army. Even they cannot even break the defense line built by the Kanji Camp based on the stone fort!
What's even more terrifying is that less than half an hour after the war started here, another 50,000 soldiers of the Shenji Camp rushed over. This time, the Japanese pirates could no longer resist it.
As a result, in less than an hour, the 300,000 mobs were defeated by the Shenji Camp!
Maeda Tatsuta had no choice but to lead the remaining troops to flee all the way and flee back to Izumo Country.
Chapter completed!
