Chapter 995: An Inexplicable Battle of Encirclement and Annihilation (Supplement 2)

The 5,000-strong forward army mistakenly rushed into the 80,000-strong Japanese army, and Li Yu did not have the slightest fear, and rode his horse all the way to kill.

The Japanese army was also stunned by this sudden change, no one thought that this Ming general would be so biao, and he would attack directly? The kind of little girl who drilled into the arms of the big man?

Due to the large number of men and horses, Abe Tadaaki was not well prepared, and for a time the Japanese army was scattered by 5,000 Ming cavalry.

After all, there were many people, and Abe Tadaaki immediately organized a counterattack and besieged the Ming army.

Li Yu was so happy to kill, but he also had a premonition of a crisis, and he was surrounded!

The horses of the cavalry were most afraid of sharp weapons, and the spearmen of the Japanese played an important role in trapping the vanguard regiments.

There were too many Japanese, and they surrounded them three or four times inside and out, and no matter how much the forward army rushed and killed, and how many they overturned, the Japanese soldiers would surround it again.

The distance between the two sides was very close, and many cavalrymen of the Ming army could not give full play to the advantage of muskets when they rushed back and forth.

The Japanese army was also unable to organize an effective musket array fire due to the collision of the cavalry of the Ming army and the obstruction of the line of sight of the pikemen in the front, so they could only shoot sporadically.

Li Yu led the army to attack many times, but they failed to break the enemy, but made the encirclement smaller and smaller, and Ming soldiers were constantly shot.

It wasn't until the commander of his regiment died on the spot that Li Yu felt a trace of anxiety in his heart, he wouldn't be planted in the hands of Little Japan, right?

He was in his heart, and decided to take his subordinates to fight to the death with this group of brothers, even if he died, he would destroy Little Japan and pull a few more pads!

Under the leadership of Li Yu, the vanguard army fully carried forward the spirit of fearlessness and launched the most fierce offensive since the conquest of Japan.

Because the combat effectiveness of the Ming army was too strong, Abe Tadaaki was frightened and had to quietly order his generals to put away a few of his flags to reduce the hatred value.

The two sides have been fighting fiercely for a long time, and the battle has entered a stalemate, although the Ming army is brave, but the battle situation has changed for a wonderful time, and the Japanese army formation is becoming more and more stable.

Before, the Japanese soldiers took cold weapons and slashed against the Ming cavalry, but gradually, they found a good position and began to use firearms on a large scale.

If you continue to fight like this, the Ming army will be consumed before dark, and the calves will be finished.

Li Yu has been like a day for more than ten years, still wearing a white robe, leading the army in and out of the Japanese army, as if no one is in a place, and he has learned Huang Degong's violent state, and the more he kills, the more ferocious he becomes.

Suddenly, he spotted Abe Tadaaki, a familiar and unfamiliar Japanese general, hiding in the crowd.

The reason why they are familiar is that they had a fight yesterday, but they don't know each other, because both sides only recognize the flag, and they can't see each other's small appearance from a distance.

Li Yu fell in love with this specially dressed Japanese general at a glance, because Abe Tadaaki was wearing a black and yellow armor today, and the yellow was the golden three-leaf family crest of the Tokugawa shogunate, which was very large, and looked like a blooming chrysanthemum from a distance.

Let's not talk about whether it is a chrysanthemum or not, Li Yu thinks that those who can wear the Tokugawa shogunate's three-leaf family coat of arms on the battlefield are generally big people in small Japan.

In the midst of the chaos, Li Yu was possessed by Zhao Zilong as Changshan, and after riding a horse and cutting down a few small Japan, he took out a Wushi rifle from his horse and shot it at Abe Tadaaki.

Whether he hit or not, he loaded the bullet from the breech and fired another shot.

It's a pity that he shot immediately, the accuracy was very poor, and Li Yu's two shots hit only half of the time, and he still hit an unlucky samurai beside Abe Tadaaki.

Abe Tadaaki was too frightened to be frightened, and hurriedly shifted his position under the escort of the samurai.

In response to this naked slap in the face, the Japanese army retaliated, and dozens of firearms and bows and arrows were aimed at Li Yu, ready to be ashamed of the boss.

At this moment, Xu Qingshan led a cavalry to roll over.

The Ming army is prestigious, and it has been deified in the Japanese army, and Xu Qingshan's appearance has its own majesty.

The sudden appearance of another cavalry of the Ming army made the Japanese army panic, and the formation was instantly overwhelmed.

Xu Qingshan chased after him for a while, and then he collected his troops and returned.

As soon as he saw Li Yu, he scolded: "You are a veteran, you have fought for so many years, don't you have any awareness at all?" I also let people wrap dumplings! ”

The two are of similar age, Li Yu is the young marshal of the Jingwu Army, and the young general of Xu Qingshan's Tianwu Army, who has repeatedly performed miraculous feats.

Li Yu was quite dissatisfied with Xu Qingshan, and began to secretly compete with him as early as more than ten years ago when he was at the Huangming Military Academy.

This time to conquer Japan, it was only the earl's Xu Qingshan as the main commander, which made Li Yu very unhappy and quite unconvinced.

In the first battle of Osaka, Xu Qingshan ordered Zhu Chenggong to attack the fort, but let Li Yu defend Beicheng, which made him even more unconvinced.

Now seeing Xu Qingshan accusing himself in person, Li Yu's face couldn't get over, and he stiffened his neck and said: "Xu Qingshan, don't go too far, how can you say that I am also a marquis, you are an earl!" ”

Xu Qingshan was stunned, his face was very ugly.

At this time, a young general rode out of the crowd and shouted: "Master Hou, please pay attention, Xu Dashuai is the commander of the army, and you can't be presumptuous!" ”

Li Yu shouted: "Where did you come from, dare to teach Lao Tzu a lesson?" ”

When he frowned and turned his head to look, he saw that the person who spoke was quite familiar: "General Xiao Cao? What are you doing here? ”

This young general's name is Cao Minghao, the son of Cao Bianjiao, the prince of Xiangguo, who served as the former general of the Imperial Forest Army.

Cao Minghao snorted and said: "Xu Dashuai heard that you were besieged, worried that something would happen to you, and personally borrowed the Imperial Forest Army from His Majesty to save you, but you played tricks with him and set up your identity, don't you know that the combat troops only talk about military positions, regardless of titles?" ”

Only then did Li Yu discover that the inner lining of the military uniforms of these cavalrymen who came to support them was bright yellow satin.

He was still curious just now, the cavalry in the army had been brought by him, how could Xu Qingshan still have a cavalry team of 1,000 people, it turned out to be the Royal Forest Army that he borrowed from His Majesty......

The Imperial Guards are not borrowed casually, one is that no one dares to borrow, and the other is that they may not be able to borrow if they want to, who can be qualified to let the Imperial Guards rescue?

Xu Qingshan dared to borrow the Imperial Forest Army from His Majesty, which is enough to show that he attaches importance to himself, and it also shows that the Son of Heaven attaches importance to him.

Thinking of this, Li Yu knelt down on one knee with his fists in his fists, saluted Xu Qingshan, and said, "Boss, please forgive the last general for being rude!" The last general, thank you for the rescue! ”

"Hey!"

Xu Qingshan helped him up and said, "What are you doing, we are robes, you and these brothers are the heroes of my Ming Dynasty, how can I watch you in distress and not save you!" ”

After hearing these words, Li Yu's good impression of Xu Qingshan increased again, and even sincerely admired Xu Qingshan's personality.

If the identities of the two were reversed, he would learn that Xu Qingshan was besieged because of his meritorious service, and he might abandon his previous suspicions to come to the rescue, but he would never do it if he took the initiative to borrow the cavalry of the Royal Forest Army from His Majesty, because if he didn't do well, he would be angered by the Son of Heaven and lose his future.

Li Yu suddenly thought that Xu Qingshan, as a poor people, relied on his own efforts after joining the army, and reached today's position step by step, isn't it because of his own efforts?

And he Li Yu, his father-in-law is the big man in the army Huang Degong, who not only opens a small stove for him in peacetime, but also follows his father-in-law to fight so that he can be quickly promoted and rank as a marquis, why do he look down on others?

Thinking of this, Li Yu felt that he was inferior to Xu Qingshan in terms of temperament and command of operations.

In terms of the second-generation military team of Emperor Tianwu, only Xu Qingshan and Zhu Chenggong are the best......

"What do you think?"

Xu Qingshan patted his arm and said, "Hurry up and clean up the battlefield and welcome Your Majesty's arrival, let's try to invite Your Majesty to Kyoto City for the night in these two days!" ”

After many years of heart knots opened, Li Yu suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, rarely showed a smile, and nodded heavily.

In this inexplicable encirclement and annihilation battle, the Ming army lost 900 people and the Japanese army was killed more than 3,000 people, which was the largest casualties of the Ming army since the beginning of the war, and it was also the battle with the lowest proportion in the Tomorrow's War.
