Chapter 1023: Armageddon

Sekigahara is surrounded by mountains on three sides and a plain passage in the middle, making it an excellent place for the two sides to engage in field battles.

Under the dragon flag of the Ming army, the array flag was waving, Zhu Cihong stood on the car, pressed on the sword with one hand, and looked at the shogunate army in the distance, with a cold look in his eyes.

"Today, let the army of the Ming Dynasty create an eternal legend in the land of Japan!"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Cihong slowly pulled out his sword, and the long sword pointed obliquely, as if it was about to pierce the sky!

Xu Sheng understood, waved the good flag of the Chinese army, and shouted: "The whole army advances, kill the widows!" ”

"Forward!"

A neat forward tone roared, and the sea of red uniforms of the Ming army pressed forward, always maintaining a strict formation all the way, exuding an overwhelming seeping momentum!

Looking at the battle formation of the Ming army, the eyes of the daimyo of the shogunate army showed a look of fear.

The formation of the Ming army opened their eyes!

Sakai Tadashi sighed secretly and said, "The Ming army is indeed extraordinary, but the shogunate army of the Tokugawa clan also has a long reputation!" Men of the Tokugawa family, hold on to your weapons, go and defeat them, and win glory for the ancestors of the Tokugawa clan! ”

Tokugawa Mitsuyoshi took the lead in the battle, and Qi Yuxuan said: "My lord, I am willing to lead the troops to take the lead!" ”

"Good!"

Sakai Tadashi said: "Your Highness Guangyi, you will fight this battle and greatly frustrate the arrogance of the Ming army!" ”

As soon as he finished giving the order, he saw a roar of artillery on the opposite side, and the advance of the two armies had already begun to fight.

Tokugawa Mitsuyoshi did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly led his troops into battle.

The thirty martial emperor cannons of the Ming army let out an angry roar, and the unlucky vanguard soldiers of the shogunate army used their bodies to bear the power that should not exist in this time and space, and their limbs were scattered and scattered, and their clothes and hats were shattered to the ground.

Yoshizawa hid behind a bamboo bundle, holding the newly-haired firebolt in his hand, breathing heavily.

From time to time, he looked left and right in the queue, not knowing what he was going to do now.

Although there were not many artillery pieces of the Ming army, the power was too fierce, a cannonball flew over, and the bamboo bundle in front of it was like a piece of paper, which was ruthlessly pierced, and by the way, it directly took away more than a dozen shogunate soldiers on a line.

It's horrible!

Every cannon sound of the Ming army would make Yoshizawa tremble, and there was nowhere to put his limbs.

Fortunately, after a few rounds of artillery bombardment, the Ming infantry began to attack, and they crossed the artillery position and approached in formation.

Without the threat of shells, the vanguard army of the shogunate army seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but then they were dumbfounded again and fell into terror.

"Fire!"

Resolute and powerful voices sounded one after another in the Ming army's array.

Accompanied by a thunderous first row of guns, the roar of the salvo was like a thunderbolt, and then a long white dragon of gunpowder quickly formed on the Ming army's battle line of hundreds of meters.

Bullets flew like a storm across the land of Sekigahara, sweeping through the shogunate armies and tearing apart the petite bodies of their soldiers.

In the continuous popping sound, the shogunate army in front of them was like a punctured balloon, and the fluffy blood mist exploded inside, and the deformed lead bullet entered their bodies, mercilessly tearing their internal organs and expanding the area of the wound.

In the blink of an eye, the front of the shogunate army was as if it had been discussed, and the ashigaru fell neatly into pieces, followed by bursts of heart-rending screams, resounding throughout the field.

The soldiers of the Shogunate Army wearing black military uniforms, the corpses were stretched across the ground and a group of black human walls were automatically pulled out, and the pupils of the soldiers behind them widened sharply.

Relying on the range advantage of rifled guns, the Ming army unscrupulously deployed a row of guns, one after another, as if performing a shooting performance on the execution ground.

In the earth-shattering round of fire, the front platoon of the shogunate army suffered a devastating blow in a short period of time, the first few rows were almost swept away, and the black human walls on the ground piled up more and more.

Shooting at a distance of 100 paces, the muskets of the shogunate army could not do it, the gap in their equipment was too large, and the European musket used, although the power was great, the accuracy was very poor, shooting at this distance, I don't know whether to hit birds or people.

Yoshizawa stood at the front of the queue and clearly saw the Ming army striding forward, wearing red uniforms, shooting as steady as Mount Tai as they walked in the white smoke.

Looking around him, he was full of comrades lying on the ground struggling, they were hit in various parts of the body, rolling on the ground and screaming, and there were also people who kept crawling with a strong desire to survive, and they didn't know where to go.

Ji Ze was frightened, his brain was instantly confused, his legs were limp and he collapsed to the ground, he didn't even know that he was standing behind just now, how could he run to the first row all of a sudden?

"Get up! Get up! ”

Yoshizawa was kicked back to reality, and the first thing he saw was his captain, Yagyu Dairo.

Holding a round shield on the left and right, and a knife in his right hand, Yagyu kept kicking and beating the soldiers of the shogunate army who were scared to the ground.

Yoshizawa, who had regained his senses, did not become stronger, and when he saw the surging Ming army again, he became more timid.

He clenched the musket in his hand and kept silently saying in his heart: "I want to live, I want to return to the Mito Domain, I want to marry a daughter-in-law!" ”

Growing so big, how can you be willing to even touch a woman's breasts?

The Ming army's array had advanced about eighty paces, and they were still firing with their guns raised.

The shogunate army, with the blessing of "iron-like battlefield discipline", gradually improved, and the front line continued to form a group, preparing to wait for the Ming army to enter the effective range before counterattacking.

"Again, no one is allowed to shoot without an order from above!"

In front of his team, Yagyu Daro kept repeating this military order.

Yoshizawa held his gun and cowered behind a bamboo bundle that had been broken by artillery, and his only thought now was to wait for the captain to give the order to shoot, and then quickly finish the shot and retreat to the back.

More and more shogunate troops fell, and they almost stood there and were shot, and this feeling made the musketeers in the front line of the shogunate numb and confused.

At this time, Tokugawa Mitsuyoshi arrived with his men and horses, and their cavalry attacked the Ming army's main formation from the flank, wanting to repeat the victory in the first battle of Nangong Mountain.

With these cavalry cover, the hearts and ranks of the vanguard army were a little more stable, and Yoshizawa was also heavily relieved.

However, they were shocked to find that after a brief silence, the array of the Ming army on the opposite side had once again resumed its previous fierce firepower.

The Ming army's musket array completely ignored the harassment of the shogunate cavalry, because they were flanked by cavalry cover, and were responsible for fighting these shogunate cavalry dogs.

If there is a man left here, he will definitely mock Tokugawa Mitsuyoshi: This is the old tactic of the Ming army, and if you do this, you can only deliver food!

At that time, the cavalry of the Eight Banners Brigade was so awesome, and they rushed from the flank, and they were not driven back by the Tianwu Army like a donkey......
