One Hundred and Thirty-Four Bloody Battle of the Blue Hoof Pavilion (3)
The so-called solid bullet is actually an iron lump, because it has extraordinary speed and power because of the rapid launch device such as the gunpowder launcher, which surpassed its old-timer trebuchet in one fell swoop and became an extremely important part of the main battle weapons of the Ming army.

When encountering some strong and indestructible cottages and fortresses, the Ming army will choose to use solid bullets, or when encountering enemy troops at sea, in order to increase the range, they will also choose solid bullets, and if they are lucky, they can smash the enemy's ships through each other.
Because it does not explode and can only be useful in a specific environment, the Ming army is more willing to use flowering shells that can cause greater damage to the enemy than solid bullets, or tiger squat cannons that can hit a large number of broken stones to cause greater damage, etc., but in this special situation now, it is the time to use solid bullets.
It is good to use solid bullets to destroy the formation of the Japanese in one fell swoop and give the Ming army a chance to breathe.
Wu Weizhong gave an order, the gunners loaded the solid bullets one after another, and then pushed the artillery everywhere, Wu Weizhong first ordered the gunners to fire a salvo, forcing the Japanese to retreat a few steps, as soon as the time came, Wu Weizhong immediately ordered: "Open the shield!" Ignition!!! ”
"Boom, boom, boom—"
There was a roar, and the Japanese who were very close to the Ming army's large array once again saw the nightmare that they would never forget in their next life, and dozens of large iron balls rushed into the large array surrounded by the Ming army with an indomitable momentum, setting off a bloody storm and rain, making the Japanese army chaotic, and the Ming gunners took the opportunity to storm and poke the formation of the Japanese invaders, and also shocked Ukita Hideya and Ishida Mitsunari and others who were observing the battle situation on the top of Komaru Mountain.
"Damn! How many shells do they still have!? The artillery of the Ming army is too fierce, too much more than we imagined! Our army is not supported, the loss is too great in this way, even if it annihilates this Ming army, there is no point, and there is no spare strength to deal with Xiao Ruxun's main force! ”
Masuda Nagamori shouted loudly, eagerly hoping that Ukita Hideya and the rest of the elders would not take care of a few soldiers, but would gather the only thirteen artillery pieces for the purpose of destroying the Ming army's large array, and fire a salvo at the Ming army's large array, destroying the Ming army's large array, so that the Japanese army, which had the advantage of most troops, could enter the Ming army's formation and fight the Ming army's white-knuckle battle.
"I also suggest this, if we continue like this, we will be exhausted before Xiao Ruxun's main force arrives, in case the second wave of ambushes is not enough to defeat Xiao Ruxun's main force, once its counterattack is successful, we will lose all our efforts, and Seoul will be in danger! Now is not the time to hesitate! Please order it as soon as possible! ”
Mitsuyasu Kato yelled.
Ukita Hideya's face turned red, and seeing that the opinions of the elders had become unified, he couldn't continue to hesitate, so he stomped his feet ruthlessly and shouted, "Load, ignite!" ”
Before the words fell, there was a "boom", and a cannon not far from the headquarters was fired first for some reason, while the other dozen guns were not even reloaded, and the gunners looked at each other with a confused expression, Kato Mitsutai reacted angrily and took the lead in rushing over: "What are you doing!" Just ordered you to load! Why did it ignite?! Bastard! Reload now! Ready to launch! ”
After saying that, he slapped the gunner who was holding the torch with a bewildered face.
That blow, the cannonball fell impartially on the left side of the Ming army formation five meters away, overturned two shield soldiers, Wu Weizhong was shocked, immediately let people make up, with his intuition, the Japanese artillery must be on the mountain, jumped up and ran to the shield car, then looked at the mountain through the gap in the shield array, and sure enough, he saw a burst of smoke after the artillery was fired, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
If they had a few more cannons, this array would really not be able to carry it! It seems that our intelligence is also wrong, it is not that there are no artillery, but there are too few of them, and ordinary troops cannot use them at all, and in this case, when the main force is coming, the Japanese will definitely use artillery!
Seeing that position, Wu Weizhong immediately ordered the five artillery pieces to gather over, pointed to the position that Komaruyama was near, asked the gunners to aim, reload the shells, and then quickly moved away from the shield array, and decisively ordered the artillery to be bombarded, to destroy their artillery and gunners before the Japanese gunners fired the second time!
Kato Mitsuyasu decided to personally direct the gunners to fire artillery at the large array of the Ming army, and pushed away the retainers who were concerned about his safety, insisting on standing at the forefront to command the battle.
"Reloaded! Aim done! ”
The gunners said that it had been done, Kato Kotai nodded with satisfaction, raised his hand and was about to give the order, suddenly there was a sound similar to the sound of artillery stimulation in his ears, just as he shifted his doubtful gaze to the Ming army's large array, three shells exploded around him accurately, destroying eight artillery pieces and more than thirty gunners in one fell swoop, Kato Kotai's body was undoubtedly torn apart by lead, gravel and air waves.
The explosion was some distance away from the Japanese headquarters and did not reach the headquarters, but before they could react and observe the situation, another round of shelling was carried out, and several shells fell on the position just now, and a few sparks exploded, and then everything was calm.
When the smoke cleared, a group of people looked at the position of the artillery position and froze.
Except for the broken barrel and the corpses of the artillerymen, not a single intact gun was visible...... And that's not the most important thing, the most important thing is ......
Kato...... He...... He ......"
Ishida Mitsunari was trembling for a long time before he could say that.
With a "bang", an unknown object landed at the door of the headquarters from the sky, and Ishida Mitsunari took a look, and saw a tattered blood-stained gold pocket rolling at the door of the headquarters, and then stopped in a pit and did not move.
Ukita Hideya gasped and couldn't say a word, and the rest of the Japanese commanders were also frightened and inexplicable, seeing everything in front of them, they never felt that death was so close to them, at this moment, some people were thinking, thousands of Ming troops need us to use 20,000 people to besiege, so how many people do tens of thousands of Ming troops need us to use to besiege? Can it be beaten?
This is an unknown, anyway, they only see that the Ming army is only about 5,000 people, surrounded by 20,000 Japanese troops, but there is no sign of defeat at all, and they have been fighting bravely, but the losses of the Japanese army are constantly increasing, just now they defeated half of the artillery reserves in the hands of the Ukita Hideya, and also lost a Toyotomi elder, so when Xiao Ruxun's main force arrives, even if it is a second round of ambush, can it really defeat this Ming army?
No one dared to pack the ticket, because if the Japanese army here were all defeated and killed by the Ming army, and even if they all became prisoners, there would be no need to fight this battle, and they could wait for Taige to bring the remaining 100,000 troops to Korea and the Ming Dynasty for the battle for the survival of the country, but I don't know if Taige's body can withstand such a terrible ending.
Hideya Ukita began to worry about the feasibility of this project that everyone had completed together...... There are only 10,000 people left in Seoul, and if they are all lost here, will Seoul still need to be defended? Is there still a need to hold on?
