Chapter 162 The Battle of Bitumen Hall ends, the result

The Japanese army rushed up the mountain with great momentum.

During the Japanese attack, the Japanese army attacked by more than 10,000 Japanese troops on the front, divided into several waves of attack troops. The two sides of the Ming army were rugged and uneven, which was not conducive to attack, so how to attack the Ming army's positions from both sides is still being studied.

Facing the strong enemy, Li Rusong drew out his long sword and shouted: "The whole army fights to the death! If you wince and fail to forward, kill!"

The Japanese army was getting closer and closer. Directly opposite the Ming army, the terrain here was the widest place. The Wuzhai Fort army in charge of fighting here was Huang Laifu. Faced with the Japanese army's black and black force, Huang Laifu has always been very calm.

When the Japanese army rushed into two hundred steps in front, Huang Laifu gave the order. The dozens of Flang cannons in front of him opened fire, immediately causing the Japanese army to be dizzy and suffer heavy casualties.

After finally waiting for the Japanese army to continue rushing, at 80 steps, the Wuzhai Fort musketeers behind the Folang Machinery cannon opened fire together, causing the Japanese army to scream and snatch the sky and the earth.

After three rounds of muskets were fired, the Japanese army barely rushed to fifty steps. At this time, the musketsmen of Wuzhai Fort retreated, and the archers stepped forward again, and another wave of arrow rains, shooting the Japanese army in front of the front like a hedgehog in front of the formation.

After three waves of arrows, the musketeers stepped forward again... In this way, the two alternated and covered each other to form continuous firepower. The Japanese troops could not rush into the Wuzhai Fort formation twenty steps. The bodies left by the Japanese army slowly piled up higher and higher in front of the Wuzhai Fort army.

Since we learned about this war in history, Huang Laifu brought enough ammunition to use this time. As long as the arrows are full of ammunition, the Japanese army would not be able to approach the Wuzhaibao army.

Huang Laifu also suggested that Li Rusong bring more cannons, and at this time they were used on the Folang machine cannons in front of the formation. As long as the Japanese army gathered and tried to suppress Huang Laifu's firepower with bows and arrows and iron cannons, Huang Laifu would bombard them with artillery to destroy their formation. They attacked with scattered soldiers and bombarded them with muskets.

The Japanese army rushed again and again, with heavy casualties, but they could not even touch the armor of the soldiers of Wuzhai Fort. Because of the musketeers on the front line, the archers could block the Japanese army in front of the formation, and the Huang Laifu army at the end of the first formation could not be used, which made them feel itchy.

The Wuzhai Fortress position on the front was as solid as a rock, and the Japanese army was terrible with sharp muskets and arrows. Li Rubai, Li Rumei, Zu Chengxun, Cha Dashou, Yang Yuan and others were all shocked when they saw it. The advantages of the firearms of the Wuzhai Fortress army and the spirit of the soldiers were indeed not casually mentioned. Li Rusong, who was in the central army, could see clearly and nodded secretly.

On the side of the Japanese army, the commander Konishi, Kobayakawa Takake and others who were commanding in front of the battlefield were solemn. Everyone knew that this attack on the Ming army would be a tough battle, but they did not expect it would be so difficult. In the front direction of the Ming army, they rushed again and again, from time to time, with heavy losses from the generals, and fearing death and injury, but in return, this result was the result.

Takake Kobayakawa even secretly cried his teeth in his heart: "Huang Laifu!"

The main attack on his army this time, and the casualties were so heavy, no wonder Kobayakawa Takake was hated by him.

President Xiaoxi suddenly shouted: "Look!"

The Japanese generals hurriedly looked at it. After the Japanese army failed to charge again, thousands of iron-armored cavalry rushed out of the second formation of the Ming army. There was a big flag of Li and Cha, but it was Li Rubai. Cha Dashou received the order of Li Rusong and led his cavalry to attack the remaining enemies.

Thousands of iron hooves rolled, and the ground trembled slightly. In addition, they rushed out of the mountain, condescending, bringing countless mud and dust, and their momentum was even more amazing. The Japanese army, which attacked Huang Laifu's position head-on, retreated, and was dejected. Seeing the Ming cavalry so powerful, they were even more scared and shuddered, and many people fled.

The first row of the Ming cavalry in front of the front had already lit the three-eyed guns in their hands. They rushed to the front, and first of all, a three-eyed gun bombardment. After the three-tube shot, the Japanese army was killed and injured in the smoke. After the three-eyed guns were shot, these Ming cavalry raised the three-eyed guns high again, used as a mace, rushed into the Japanese army, swung the three-eyed guns and smashed them.

If you are made of iron and heavy three-bar gun head, you will have to lose half your life even if you don’t die.

Rows of Ming cavalry rushed into the retreating Japanese army, and followed the rules, rushing into the crowd and killing them, making the Japanese army cry. In addition to the Japanese army who were killed by three-eyed guns, countless Japanese soldiers were knocked over and trampled to death by Ming army war horses.

These thousand Ming cavalry even rushed to the Japanese brigade at the foot of the mountain and saw the Ming army rolling in. The Japanese generals at the foot of the mountain were scattered and were eager to fire the archers and iron gunners.

Most of the Japanese big bows were bamboo bows, and the arrows shot were not powerful. The Ming cavalry were all wearing iron armor and would not hit the arrows. Even if they were caught a few arrows, it would be fine.

However, the Japanese iron gunners were quite powerful. Under their shooting, some Ming cavalry fell under the horse. Seeing that they could not get any advantage, Li Rubai and Cha Dashou led the remaining cavalry back to the mountain. During this sudden attack, the two killed hundreds of Japanese soldiers and injured more than ten of their own casualties, which was considered a great victory.

This time, the Ming cavalry attacked Takake Kobayakawa, Governor Konishi and others. Although the attack from both sides of the Ming army's positions was not conducive to the attack, it was in order to restrain the Ming army and to make a better breakthrough.

After a series of discussion, Takakekoshi Kozaki ordered the Japanese general Tachibana Soshita to lead thousands of Japanese troops to attack the right wing of the Ming army. Japanese generals Motoyaki, Hidebay Kozaki and others led thousands of troops to attack the left wing of the Ming army. Takakekoshi Kozaki's troops continued to attack from the front.

As a result, the battle became more and more intense.

Huang Laifu's front position was still as solid as a rock, but the Japanese army kept approaching from both sides. Li Rubai and Cha Dashou led the troops to attack several times. In the battle, Japanese generals Anton Takahashi and Anton Yukita were killed and Li Rubai were killed and fell off the horse. However, the Japanese army still came in waves.

Seeing that the Japanese army was in an urgent attack on both sides and had already pressed down on Huang Laifu's frontal formation, Li Rusong suddenly pulled out the battle knife from his waist, raised it high, and shouted: "All the soldiers, follow me to attack!"

At this time, there were Li Rumei, guerrilla general Li Youyi, deputy general Li Yousheng, Zu Chengxun, Li Ning, Zhang Shijue and others. There were nearly a thousand most elite cavalrymen in the Ming army. After hearing Li Rusong say this, all the soldiers obeyed the orders and rode their horses and followed Li Rusong to the bottom of the left wing mountain.

More than a thousand cavalry rushed down, the sound of iron hooves and the earth trembled!

Facing towards them was the Japanese general Motoyashi Motoya and the Hidehosaki Kobayakawa, thousands of people were in the army. Seeing the Ming cavalry rolling in, everyone was brave. At the front was the Japanese bamboo spear. They shouted loudly, and the dense bamboo spears were raised, and the sharp spear tips pointed at the Ming cavalry rolling in. As long as they dared to bump into, they would stab them and their horses into holes.

However, the Ming cavalry led by Li Rusong was not as they imagined. When they were about thirty steps away from the Japanese army, the Ming cavalry in the front row raised the three-eyed guns in their hands and shot at the Japanese phalanx.

"Baopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopa

This row of Ming army plucked horses past the Japanese army.

The second row of Ming troops rushed over again, and the three-eyed guns fired again, and the Japanese soldiers screamed and fell down again. Then the Ming troops passed by the Japanese troops again.

Such rows of Ming troops rushed past the Japanese army. In the smoke of gunpowder, there were very few Japanese spears in front. Because the Japanese army did not have the habit of equiping shields, the muskets that attacked the Ming cavalry could only stand and be beaten. The archers of Japanese archers rushed out in the back row also had little impact on the Ming cavalry wearing iron armor.

Due to the heavy casualties of the Japanese army's spear in front of the front, there were very few left. At this time, the cavalry in the back row of the Ming army rushed in directly. They raised their three-eyed guns and bombarded the Japanese army in the gap. After the three tubes, the casualties of the Japanese army at the gap were even more severe, and their formation was in danger of collapse.

After the three-eyed gun was shot, the Ming cavalry also raised the three-eyed gun, used as a mace, and rushed into the Japanese army group with the power of horsepower and smashed them from both sides. At the same time, the Ming cavalry in the front row also drove back and joined the target of the attack.

As a result, thousands of people from the Japanese general Mori Motoyashi, Kobayakawa Hidehosaki and other troops collapsed, and they all threw down their weapons and ran away crying for their parents. Along the way, in addition to those who were beaten to death by the Ming army, many of them trampled on each other and died along the way. For several days, Mori Motoyashi died in the chaos.

After repelling the attack of the left-wing Japanese army, Li Rusong did not give up. He led his cavalry to rush left and right at the foot of the mountain, as if he was entering a no-man. Seeing Li Rusong like this, Kuroda Nagamasa, Kobayakawa Takake, Ukita Hideki, Kokita Hideki, Konishi Governor General and others were both angry and happy.

The angry one was that Li Rusong regarded them as nothing, and the happy one was that Li Rusong did not stay in the central army and rushed to kill him personally, just surrounded him and killed him. At that moment, the Japanese army at the foot of Bitiguan Mountain, under the command of the Japanese central army of Bitiguan, concentrated their forces and slowly surrounded Li Rusong.

However, Li Rusong was Li Rusong. Although he was surrounded by the Japanese army, he still led some servants to attack left and right, and was unstoppable. However, at this moment, Ye Nakaki, a Japanese general in Lihua's army, rushed towards Li Rusong with more than a hundred samurai beside him.

At this time, only dozens of servants were left beside Li Rusong, and most of them had been dispersed by the Japanese army, and the situation was critical. Li Rumei, Li Ning and others, not far from Li Rusong, saw that Li Rusong was in a critical situation, so they tried their best to approach Li Rusong.

But the Japanese army seized this opportunity and were willing to give up? Immediately, countless Japanese troops rushed over and wrapped them tightly. The deputy general Li Yousheng killed the Japanese general Ogawa Cheng Chong and rushed forward to protect the master. In the melee, he was defeated and the Japanese samurai rushed forward to cut him into several sections.

At this moment, Li Rumei took an arrow and shot the face of Nakayuki, who fell under the horse. The remaining Japanese samurai was shocked and scattered. Li Rusong was in danger.

At this time, Li Rumei, Zu Chengxun and others dared not let Li Rusong kill left and right at the foot of the mountain? Protecting Li Rusong and returning to the positions on the mountain. The Japanese and Ming troops returned to the situation before the attack and defense.

Seeing that things failed, Governor Xiaoxi and others sighed.

After that, the two sides were trapped in a tough battle of offense and defense, with the sound of killing and guns and cannons shaking the earth.

From the afternoon to dusk, the two sides fought to the death and refused to retreat. At the foot of the mountain, there were corpses of the Ming and Japanese troops everywhere, which could be said to be piled up like mountains and blood flowing into rivers. Because the war was too cruel, the Japanese general Takayasu Soshita took the initiative to find Takake Kobayakawa to take over his position and withdrew from the battlefield.

On the Japanese side, not only were the soldiers injured and killed more than thousands, but even the Japanese generals also killed more than ten. This attack, the Japanese army was greatly damaged.

On the Ming army, most of the casualties were the Ming soldiers guarding both sides. Although Huang Laifu's Wuzhai Fort army guarded the front front position, the artillery and guns of his subordinates were too sharp. The Japanese attacking troops could not attack his formation, and his subordinates only had some cold weapon troops with short-strike attacks.

Perhaps Huang Laifu suffered the biggest loss was the muskets of his musketmen. Because the muskets in their hands were used too frequently, they didn’t know how many guns they had fired in an afternoon, and the barrels were about to be scrapped. Perhaps after returning, they would have to collectively replace the muskets, which was a huge expense.

At dusk, he heard the sound of killing at the foot of the mountain and shook the sky. It turned out that the deputy general Yang Yuan finally arrived and launched a fierce attack from the flank of the Japanese army. After a day and night of fierce fighting, the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties and became the last of its strength. He mistakenly believed that it was the main force of the Ming army to come to aid. Japanese generals Kobayagawa Takake, Governor Konishi and others rushed to retreat to Wangjing in a panic.

When the Japanese army was defeated and fled, Huang Laifu became energetic and immediately asked Li Rusong for his orders and led his army to pursue the Japanese army to escape. At this time, Li Rusong and others were unable to pursue them, so Huang Laifu led more than 3,000 people from his headquarters to launch a pursuit to the Japanese army.

Huang Laifu chased him until he was under the capital, and then he turned around and brought back more than a thousand Japanese troops at the head level.

At this time, the Battle of Bitiguan was completely over.

After cleaning the battlefield, it was finally counted that in the two battles between Bitiguan, the Ming army suffered more than 1,500 casualties, mainly for the investigation of the Dashou army, with 1,000 casualties. The rest were Li Rusong, Huang Laifu and other troops. Among them, dozens of casualties were killed and killed. The Ming army's general Yousheng was killed in the battle.

Nearly 10,000 Japanese casualties were killed or killed. In addition to ordinary soldiers, the Japanese generals felled: Nariyuki Ono, Ten Otsuki, Yokotosaki, Yokotosaki Ando, ​​Naige Ogawa, Naige Ogawa, Ando Tokono Shigeo, Yokoyama Keiyoshi, Karamayaguchi, Karamayaguchi, Karamayaguchi, Wunosuke Tokoro, Yuasa Shin-eimon, Yoshida Tazuemon, Poramagosaki Saemon and more than ten people.

After fighting for a day and night, there were more than ten Japanese generals killed, which shows the tragic situation of the Bitiguan.

In history, in the Battle of Bitiguan, the number of Japanese casualties was more than 7,000, and the number of Ming army casualties was more than 2,500. After Huang Laifu participated in the war, the number of Ming army casualties was reduced to more than 1,500, and the number of Japanese casualties increased to nearly 1,000. This made the battle in Bitiguan even more tragic, the attacks on the Japanese army were heavier, making them even more frightened.

After this war, the strong combat power of the Ming army greatly shocked the Japanese army. Although the number of Japanese troops arrived in Wangjing increased to 120,000, facing the Ming army with only more than 30,000 people, they kept hiding in Wangjing and not daring to fight. They had completely lost their confidence in fighting with the Ming army.
