"Smack!"

The first shots rang out, and a Ming soldier eating mooncakes was shot and fell to the ground.

Immediately after a series of gunshots, dozens of Ming soldiers were knocked down, and blood flowers rushed out of their bodies.

"There is an ambush! All lie down! ”

The ministers of the Ming army shouted desperately, and the soldiers moved very fast, lying on the spot, looking for the enemy's position while loading ammunition, and shooting back into the dense forest from time to time.

Rapid response to ambushes is one of the ordinary training items of the Ming army, but because the Ming army's night is too strong, the army rarely encounters ambushes.

In the face of the sudden change, Xu Qingshan did not panic at all, and calmly ordered: "The 1st Brigade of the 1st Royal Division covers the artillery and baggage, and the 2nd Brigade and the 3rd Brigade outflank from both flanks. ”

Not long after, dozens of Wujiu Thunderbolts quickly stood on the ground, desperately shooting at the Japanese figures in the dense forest.

This thing God blocks and kills God, Buddha blocks and kills Buddha, and Little Japan, who was originally excited to want the head of the Ming Army, suddenly seems to be evil.

Under the suppression of powerful firepower, most of the people just watched and put a few shots on nothing, and even if the leader shouted, they just stomped their feet on the spot and flinched.

Looking at the reaction of the Ming army, if they were ambushed, they could still counterattack in an orderly manner and take the initiative to attack.

At this time, the rear of the Japanese troops who were ambushed in the dense forest suddenly remembered a gunshot, which was obviously the third group.

By now, the fool understood what was going on, and the Japanese generals hurriedly ordered a breakout and a retreat to Osaka Castle.

On Osaka Castle, Sakai Tadashi heard the dense gunfire from a distance, and a smile appeared on his face.

Ming Kou finally got on the road, this wave of shogunate troops will at least kill thousands of them, so that they can go back to Ming with a big injury!

The so-called peace negotiations were nothing more than a trick arranged by Sakai Tadashi, and in his opinion, the Ming army had an unstable foothold and was unfamiliar with the place, and the shogunate army could take advantage of the lure of the king into the urn and go up to the yin to consume its troops.

Listening to it, Sakai Tadashi's face suddenly changed, and he heard the doorway from the gunshot, it seemed that the Ming army was suppressing the Japanese army on the battlefield?

The muskets used by the Ming army and the Japanese army were of different calibers, and the gunshots produced were naturally different.

Without saying a word, he immediately ordered the gates to be closed and sent troops to defend them.

After such a fuss, the Japanese army who went out to Yin was regarded as having fallen into blood mold, and was beaten by the Ming army and chased and killed all the way.

After the Japanese army lost thousands of corpses, they ran to the bottom of Osaka Castle, but no matter how they shouted, the comrades inside just wouldn't open the door.

They know that they have been sold by their cowardly compatriots!

Looking at the back, the 30,000 troops of the Ming army advanced like a wall, and there was no longer the joke of the previous festival, and all the soldiers became murderous and heavy like a mountain.

The chaotic Japanese army was desperate, and some people could not bear the pressure and shot themselves directly.

More often than not, they laid down their weapons in front of Sakai Tadashi and surrendered to the Ming army in front of Sakai Tadashi.

Sakai Tadashi was angry and angry, he wanted to save the thousands of soldiers, but he was afraid that the Ming army would follow behind and rush in.

Now that your own soldiers surrender to the enemy in person, it will undoubtedly greatly reduce the morale of the defending army.

Xu Qingshan rode his horse, smiled faintly when he saw this scene, and signaled that he could accept these surrendered troops.

After all, in foreign countries, we must pay attention to international influence, and we must not kill these prisoners in front of the enemy.

Seeing this, Sakai Tadashi shouted at Xu Qingshan: "General of the Ming Kingdom, you and I have made an appointment between the two countries to stop fighting and share peace, why did you rebel and attack my Japanese welcoming team?" ”

Nippon interpreter translated his words loudly.

Hearing this, Xu Qingshan said: "Shameless dog thief, hit a rake!" ”

The interpreter on the side of the Ming army had a very loud voice, and in order to prevent little Japan from hearing it, he also specially built a loudspeaker and raised it to his mouth to shout.

Sakai Tadashi didn't care, he and Xu Qingshan both knew in their hearts that this kind of hypocritical trick was no longer necessary, and they would have to do it with real knives and guns next!

Seeing the failure of the surprise attack, Xu Qingshan was not discouraged, he carefully observed the city in front of him, and then ordered to attack the city, only hitting the south gate!

This scene made Sakai Tadashi puzzled, he didn't understand, why did the Ming army, which had lost its fighters, attack, did they think that this alone could take Osaka Castle?

Sure enough, the Ming army attacked for less than half an hour, and then hurriedly Mingjin withdrew his troops.

Sakai Tadashi was stunned throughout the whole process, and he didn't understand the operation of the Ming army commander, but in any case, this battle was over, and he didn't suffer a loss.

But for Xu Qingshan, this is enough.

The battle of Osaka Castle is over, but the bloody battle of the Osaka Bay Fort has begun.

After returning to the camp, Xu Qingshan summoned the generals as he had done and deployed the battle.

The scale of this meeting was extremely large, except for the cooks in the army and a few leaders who were doing miscellaneous work, dozens of generals under the Ming army basically knew the whole thing.

Basically, that's what hasn't arrived.

Those who were not present were Admiral Zhu Chenggong of the Ming Royal Navy, and none of them came.

As soon as the meeting began, Xu Qingshan informed him of his long-planned attack plan and gave an explanation.

This raid on Osaka was not in vain, but mainly for the navy to take the opportunity to capture the Osaka fort and let the navy warships go north along the estuary to the river and land under Osaka Castle.

As early as yesterday, Xu Qingshan had secretly ordered Zhu Chenggong and Chen Ye to set off, and when the Ming army and the Japanese army were engaged on land, they would quickly attack the Osaka Fort with all their strength and control Osaka Bay.

In order to prevent leakage of secrets and not facilitate the battle, Xu Qingshan did not announce the plan to the generals, but only discussed with Li Yu and Zhu Chenggong that it was Li Yu's troops who copied the back road of the Japanese ambush.

Everyone suddenly realized that they had privately commented that Xu Qingshan was not suitable for the head coach's praise and painting chief, and it was also a sudden opening, it turned out that his level was not enough......

The top brass of the Ming army knew that the Ming Dynasty's night guards and Jinyi guards frequently invaded the Japanese army.

In the same way, Little Japan did not eat dry food, they sent a large number of spies to infiltrate the Ming army, engaged in carrying and miscellaneous work, or bribed the Ming army officers and soldiers, and secretly obtained information about the Ming army.

In the big tent, the generals were talking, Xu Qingshan waved his hand and said: "This matter is over, and the next battle we are going to carry out will be even more cruel!" ”

The generals stood silently and quietly listened to Xu Dashuai's arrangement.

Xu Qingshan raised his command pole, pointed to an Osaka Bay on the map, and said solemnly: "Today, our Royal Navy fleet will block the Japanese naval exit on the sea, besiege the Japanese navy in the harbor, and destroy it along with their batteries!" ”

"Then the Marines will land at the Osaka Bay Battery, and after the landing is complete, they will assist us in launching a general attack on Osaka Castle!"

Captain Zan nodded slightly, the Osaka Fort must be taken on this dog day, otherwise the Royal Navy will not be able to dock at all and provide effective support on land, and such a large fleet will not be wasted.

I only heard Xu Qingshan say in a deep voice: "The task of the navy is heavy, we can't be idle, we must not let the Japanese troops in Osaka City run out to support the Osaka Battery, not even one!" ”

"Your Majesty has given us a month, that is, fifteen days left, and we must complete the entire Osaka campaign!"

Xu Qingshan looked around at the generals and said, "Guys, do you have any questions?" ”

The generals said in unison: "No problem! ”

Xu Qingshan said: "Okay! Today, our army is resting and setting up a village outside the south of the city, and tomorrow we will begin to attack the city. ”

"Yes!"

Sakai Tadashi didn't expect that he would ambush the strange soldiers and want to take the Ming army by surprise, and the commander of the Ming army thought of it together, and even sent a surprise army to attack the Osaka Fort early.
