Chapter 234: The city breaks

Before siege, Gu Dadao asked Huang Laifu for battle, hoping to go out to fight and gain some military merits. The Shanxi army has always regarded military merits as the most respected. Although Huang Laifu was Gu Dadao's uncle, he still treated everyone equally. Until now, Gu Dadao is just a bannerman.

Huang Laifu agreed to him. At this time, Gu Dadao led a banner of 37 servants, holding a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, cried and climbed up to the top of the city and rushed to the front of the servants' team.

Gu Dadao was tall and burly. The servants he led were all full of fleshy faces and big waists. They were all veterans of Huang Laifu's army with a lot of combat experience. As soon as these people rushed over, they were invincible.

The Shanxi Army is usually trained hard and skilled in the battle formation. After entering the city, it reflexively used the Yuanyang Battle Formation to face the enemy. Among a team of twelve people, the shield soldiers were in front, the spearmen, the wolf soldiers followed, and the short sword hands behind the palace. As the battle progressed, many combat squads had become the three-talent formation that pursued and charged in the Yuanyang Formation, the wolf soldiers, the spearmen were in front, the shield soldiers and the short sword hands were on the side guards.

The Mandarin Duck Formation was born specifically against the Japanese army's combat methods. It was almost the natural enemy of the Japanese army. They cooperated and covered each other, so that the Japanese army facing each other had no ability to strike a head-on.

Especially after many days of hard fighting, the Japanese army on the Isanshan Wo City had already been on the verge of collapse, both physical strength and morale. Many Japanese soldiers were so hungry that people were not like humans, ghosts not like ghosts, like walking corpses, relying on a brave spirit to support them. At present, the Ming army continued to jump onto the city, and this brave man disappeared. Many people screamed and fled, or simply waited for death.

Occasionally, some Japanese spearmen and swordsman who were more courageous rushed up with a strange cry and were soon killed by the Ming army. The Shanxi army was raising their energy and their physical strength was at its peak. With a knife and a spear, the Japanese army that was facing the enemy was exhausted and staggered, and they watched themselves be killed.

Soon, the first wave of attacking troops of about 500 people in the Shanxi Army followed the city and attacked the inner encirclement of Sanwan from those winding corridors, and behind them were a steady stream of troops following.

The collapse of the Japanese army defending the city was inevitable! The capture of the Japanese city in the island mountain has become a fact. At present, except for the generals and flag troops in the city who were still resisting, the front, left and right sides of the city have basically collapsed, and many soldiers have fled to the large Japanese reinforcements by the Taihe River. Especially those little logistics officers who were not the main force of the combat operations, fled all over the mountain in horror.

Gu Dadao was wearing a blue flag showing his identity on his back, and he slashed along the corridor of the city road, feeling very happy and pleasant! Three flag bearers followed him closely. In addition, the three team leaders with the middle flag on their backs also led their men and horses to follow closely. There were two sergeants in each team with small flags on their backs, all of which were unfolded with the Three Talent Formation or the Five Flower Formation.

Now at Gu Dadao's feet, he was filled with the incomplete limbs of the Japanese army, and broken weapons scattered in a row on the corridors at the top of the city. A strong smell of blood came into his nose from time to time, which aroused Gu Dadao's excitement. At this time, a real man made a contribution, and his uncle's glory has always been a role model for Gu Dadao to inspire.

When he attacked a city pavilion, a Japanese general was leading several warriors to resist stubbornly in front of the pavilion. Seeing his armor, he thought it was a gun general, a football general, and other figures. Gu Dadao couldn't help but get excited. If the Japanese general's head was cut off, he would have made great achievements.

This Japanese general was the gun general of Kato Kiyoshimae, who was a follower of Wang Yangming. He was a believer of Chinese writing. At this time, his face was as gray as he was, and his steps were unstable. However, he still held a samurai sword and stared at Gu Dadao and others fiercely.

He pointed to Gu Dadao and shouted to Chinese: "General Tang, do you dare to fight me?"

...

Yamada Tatsuki shouted, holding the sharp samurai sword in both hands, and rushed towards Gu Dadao with a whimper. With the momentum, he jumped high, and the samurai sword in his hand flashed with a cold light, slashing at Gu Dadao on his head.

Gu Dadao shouted: "Good come!"

With the iron shield in his left hand blocked, there was a loud noise. Yamada Tatsunobu immediately felt exhausted and all his strength was lost. Gu Dadao pressed the iron shield against his backhand, and Yamada Tatsunobu knelt down on one knee involuntarily, and then a sword light flashed, blood filled the sky, Yamada Tatsunobu's head flew out.

...

Their own army continued to collapse, and the Tang army rushed forward continuously. Kato Kiyomasa and a cadre general in the Honmaru Tenshou Pavilion were all looked dissatisfied.

"Is Shimayama Castle just lost like this?"

Kiyomasa Kato murmured to himself, after holding on for so many days, everything was gone.

"Qingzheng Palace, leave Island Mountain quickly. If you don't leave, it will be too late!"

A general said in a hurry.

At present, there are only dozens of Japanese iron gunners and flag-born warriors in the Tianshou Pavilion, but they are all like hungry ghosts and not humans. How can they block the Ming army like wolves and tigers? The loss of Shimayama City has become a fact.

Another man said anxiously: "Yes, Qingzheng Hall, there is a saying in the Tang Dynasty that if you keep the green mountains there, you won't be afraid of burning firewood. We can go to the riverside where our reinforcements are there, we can also go back to Xishengpu. After taking in the remaining troops, we can still fight with the Tang Dynasty! If not, we can also go to Busan."

Kiyomasa Kato said angrily: "I really don't want to see the businessman's mocking face again, so let's go back to Nishisaiura."

During the temporary trip, Kiyoshi Kato took out a piece of vermilion paper from his underwear, which read "Namo's Lotus Sutra". Kiyoshi Kato is a believer of the Japanese Buddhist Japanese Lotus Sect, so he has always pasted meat to collect this cinnabar mark in order to seek the blessing of the Buddha.

At this time, he glanced at it and smiled bitterly, "The Buddha can't bless me either."

After saying that, he hurriedly left. The island-mountain Wucheng faced the Taihe River, and there were small roads leading to the riverside. There were no Tang army there, so he could escape safely.

...

Huang Laifu, Jiang Dazhong and others stood at the city. In the central position where Huang Laifu was, the flag officers and drummers surrounded him, and the servants were also standing beside him. In addition, there were also medical practitioners in the army who were treating the injured soldiers in an orderly manner, but obviously, the number of casualties in the Shanxi army this time was very small.

The flag bearer beside Huang Laifu kept conveying Huang Laifu's instructions, and hundreds of troops from each department kept coming to the city. The city was covered with Ming flags. Successfully siege the city, whether it was the Shanxi Army or Yuzhe's Ming army, they were cheering. The hard work for ten days finally came to fruition.

Huang Laifu also sighed: "This city has finally been captured."

He also sighed in his heart that he had finally avoided the defeat of Ulsan in history, which could be said to have saved countless lives. Although the Ming army suffered nearly 3,000 casualties in the siege of the city these days, the defeat of Ulsan in history, and the final loss of more than 20,000 people was naturally greatly reduced.

Soon, Huang Laifu and Jiang Dazhong and other last servants climbed the Islamic Hang City and came to Tianshou Pavilion. Jiang Dazhong personally inserted a large yellow-shaped banner on the pavilion. Immediately, there was a sound of "million-win" inside and outside the city.

Huang Laifu stood upright with his sword and looked up from the Tianshou Pavilion. He saw that the Ming army camps were stationed near the city, densely packed with endless sight, and the flags were like mountains and seas. In the middle, there was a flagpole several meters high in the camp on Guhe Mountain, with a large flag flying above it, which was where Yang Hao's tent was located.

In this situation, Huang Laifu's heart was filled with heroic spirit. Although he stood here with great wind and snow, and the cold wind made people's head and face hurt, he still did not change his passion.

Seeing that the generals were waiting beside him, especially Gu Dadao, he looked even more excited. He killed the head of a Japanese general, and the credit could not be escaped. Huang Laifu smiled and said to a flag official: "Go to report the victory to Master Jinglei, but he must have understood everything!"

Everyone laughed.

But at this moment, I heard a noise outside the city, followed by the terrifying screams of the Ming army. Huang Laifu even saw the flag of the central army slowly sliding down in the commando camp, and everyone in the cabinet was in a stir.

Huang Laifu said in a deep voice: "What's going on? Send someone out to see!"

...

The Shanxi army captured the Isanshan Wo City, and the Guhe Mountain, about one mile away from the Island Mountain, could also be seen clearly. Looking at the flying high Ming flag on the Tianshou Pavilion, the Ming army in the Central Army Commander's Battalion on the mountain cheered, and Ma Gui and others watching the battle laughed and said that the Shanxi army was sharp, and it was indeed well-deserved.

Only Yang Hao felt very uncomfortable. The Shanxi Army's results were equivalent to hitting him hard. A few days ago, his actions to suppress the Shanxi Army for personal grudges would become the handle of the generals. Maybe he was found out by the censors, and he would be unable to afford to play it.

However, on the surface, he had to say: "General Huang succeeded in seizing the city. This is a great victory, and he should remember a merit. But this is also due to the generals... Haha, everyone, let's go into the city together! The king's army fought hard for ten days, and finally achieved success."

All the generals laughed and were about to go down the mountain with Yang Hao, when the horse's hooves rang and rushed up the mountain. Soon, a Ming flag bearer rode his horse and rushed forward. When he arrived in front of Yang Hao, he rolled his saddle and fell down and knelt on the ground. Although it was a cold day, his face was covered with sweat.

He faced Yang Hao and reported unhappily: "Reported to Master Jinglei, the military reported urgently that the Japanese were about 20,000 people who had rushed to Liangshan. General Zu Chengxun led his troops to resist. He ordered his subordinates to inform Master Jinglei that it was estimated that in less than half an hour, the Japanese pirates were about to rush over!"

These words were like a bolt from the blue, hitting Yang Hao's heart. The more uncomfortable it would be, he was stunned and stood on the spot. In Yang Hao's arrangement, he led 3,000 troops to the standard barracks and personally took charge of the military camp in Guhe Mountain. The rest of them were Magui and Huang Laifu each led thousands of troops to camp in the north of the Wucheng in the island mountain. Gao Ce led thousands of infantry and cavalry to camp in the east. Wu Weizhong led 3,000 infantry to camp in the south. Li Fangchun led 5,000 cavalry to camp in the west.

In addition, there was Li Rumei, who led 3,000 infantry and cavalry to station on the Taihe River to prevent Japanese reinforcements from the Xishengpu direction. Zu Chengxun led 3,000 infantry and cavalry to guard Liangshan, responsible for dealing with the Japanese army in the Busan direction. There were also Korean troops, the remaining Ming troops, stationed scattered near the Waishan City. Around the Waishan City, the Ming army and the Korean army had a total of more than 50,000 people.

However, the Ming army has lost thousands of people, and after several days of hard fighting, it has become a tired army. In these days, the Japanese reinforcements on the Taihe River have reached more than 50,000, and now more than 20,000 people have come. How can we fight this battle?

Although Huang Laifu led his army to capture the Isanshan Wo City, Yang Hao thought it was still useless! The tenacity of the Japanese army in the Isanshan Wo City during these times has made Yang Hao feel scared.

At the first moment, the word "withdrawal" flashed through Yang Hao's mind!
Chapter completed!
