Admiral Xiao has won everyone's trust and won the hearts of the army with his practical actions, so now is the time for the soldiers to repay Admiral Xiao's kindness. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wu Weizhong looked at Zen Master Xiu Jing, and Zen Master Xiu Jing also looked at Wu Weizhong, and the two nodded slightly, and everything was silent.

"Let's go!"

Wu Weizhong decisively ordered.

The firearms array unfolded, according to Xiao Ruxun's deployment, it is very likely that the Japanese will arrange ambushes on various hills to ambush the Ming army, once the Ming army does not notice the Japanese on the hills and enter the danger lightly, it may be ambushed by the Japanese on the hills in all directions with iron cannons, the Japanese iron cannon can penetrate three inches of wooden planks, and one inch of iron shield can be penetrated at close range, Xiao Ruxun tried his best to search for a thick enough iron shield and several layers of wooden shields tied together to make a shield car for the army, but it is not enough to ensure the safety of every soldier.

The only consolation is that the Japanese have no heavy firepower, otherwise when the cannon goes off, no matter how strong the shield array or shield cart is, it will be destroyed.

The reason why Xiao Ruxun dared to use infantry to break through like this was also because of the weakness of the Japanese Kou who had no heavy firepower and only light firepower.

Even if there is a small amount of heavy firepower, it must be concentrated around the boss, and the location of the commander of the Japanese Invaders will definitely be on the highest hill, so if Wu Weizhong wants to take the mountainous area of the Bihoguan area, he must surround the highest hill and storm it, which can not only deter the enemy commander, but also induce the hidden Japanese ambush soldiers to support.

And before that, the most important thing was the shelling of the hills.

Outside the firing range of the Japanese iron cannon, it was the unique advantage of the Ming artillery, one round of artillery fire was enough to cover the top of a low hill, no matter how many or there were no Japanese guns, they could be blown out.

And what Kuroda Nagamasa didn't know was that in the previous few big battles, Xiao Ruxun captured more than 20,000 iron cannons, and under the premise of confirming that the Japanese iron cannon surpassed the Ming army in terms of performance, Xiao Ruxun directly ordered the most elite 1,000 guns to replace the Japanese iron cannons, after a period of practice, these guns can also skillfully use the Japanese iron cannons to fight, Wu Weizhong's vanguard army, 1,000 guns all held iron cannons.

"Fire!"

Wu Weizhong calmly gave the order to open the cannon, twenty car guns pushed forward and lined up, filled with flowering shells, the gunner ignited, followed by a roar, and then, as the target of the hill rose a few large sparks, as if the completely calm hill instantly appeared a lot of scurrying figures, these robbers in order to hide on the hill, I don't know what method to use, most of the trees on the mountain are withered and yellow, and the leaves are falling everywhere, but the Ming army still can't find it.

"Fire!"

Another round of volleys, twenty sparks rose into the sky, broken limbs flew wildly, and the screams of the would-be seemed to fill the entire space, while Wu Weizhong's face was calm, the ancient well was unwavering, and the Zen master Xiu Jing folded his hands and silently recited a sentence of "Amitabha".

"The Admiral is right, the Wako intends to avoid a head-on confrontation with us and instead fight an ambush war, but I prefer not to fight an ambush with him, I will force him to fight a decisive battle with me! Fire! ”

Wu Weizhong gave the third order to open fire, and the artillery fire once again covered the low hill.

Countless Japanese robbers retreated like a tide, disappeared in an instant, Wu Weizhong did not chase, ordered the army to move forward slowly, and then towards another hill to repeat the old trick, that is, to hide outside the shooting range of the Japanese and bombard, if the Japanese want to hit the Ming army, they must be close, once they are close, the Ming army's swords, guns, swords, halberds, bows, crossbows, and firearms are not vegetarian.

At the highest place in the central hill, someone came to report the news to Kuroda Nagamasa, so that Kuroda Nagamasa knew what kind of danger his troops were in, and the Ming army hid outside the firing range of the iron cannon and bombarded the hills, obviously having seen through the tactics that the Japanese army was planning to use, and fought steadily for the battalion step by step, not greedy for merit at all, steady as Mount Tai, but this is the kind of progress, although slow, but flawless.

Unless he has a strong cavalry that can instantly melee with the Ming army, so that the cannon loses its effect, and then use the iron gunners to quickly attack to attract troops, so that the two sides can really engage the Ming army, but he only has three hundred cavalry in his hands, once it is used, it does not work, in order to avoid being completely annihilated, he can only give up his position and retreat.

The next line of defense from here was the Lishixian Pass, where he also deployed a part of his troops, and even had three artillery pieces, but in the face of the fire of the Ming army, it was only a matter of minutes for it to be broken through.

I only hated that the Korean cities were too few and too small, and they could not play a role in defending against artillery fire at all, and if they were like those military fortresses built in Japan, any of them could make the Ming army suffer a little, but Korea did not.

Kuroda Nagamasa has already understood his situation, and the success of the last fight in the current situation is estimated to be between three or seven, or even between twenty or eight, once he fails, he will not continue to fight, and instead of letting the Ming army defeat the little army he has left, he will definitely choose to retreat.

Kuroda Nagamasa, who lost Kuroda Issei, an important retainer, no longer wants his subordinates to have greater losses, otherwise he really has no right to speak at all, and there are still Kobayakawa Takakei's troops in the rear, so hurry up and let Kobayakawa Takakei rush to help Kuishihyeon, and there is a chance to block the Ming army in the mountains.

Kuroda Nagamasa immediately sent a knight to Kobayakawa Takakei for help, and then ordered to get rid of the five artillery pieces in the headquarters, and quickly transported them to Seoulhyeon for the last resistance, using the terrain to try to inflict heavy damage on the Ming army, if the Ming army broke through Tonseok Hyeon and entered the Seoul Plain area, then we really had to retreat to Seoul to defend the city.

Just as Kuroda Nagamasa was about to make a last-ditch effort, a cavalry suddenly came to report.

"What?! All the troops in Seoul were dispatched? ”

Kuroda Nagamasa was shocked: "Even the commander-in-chief is here?" ”

"Yes! The main force of the whole army has rushed to Komaruyama, and the 6,000 people of the Awaya team and the Inoue team of the Sixth Army of the vanguard are arranging the formation, and the commander-in-chief asked Your Excellency to control the situation, lead the army to slowly retreat to Komaruyama, and lure the Ming army into the encirclement of our army, and our army will surround and annihilate the Ming army! ”

After listening to the words of the herald, Kuroda Nagamasa only frowned, he instinctively thought that this might not be the best way, but would give the Ming army a chance to break the main force of the Japanese army in one fell swoop, but on the other hand, in such a narrow terrain, once the Ming army and the main force of the Japanese army were entangled, even if it was two for one, the Ming army would suffer heavy losses, and they had to stop attacking Seoul, or even retreat to Kaesong.

As long as Seoul can be kept, the Japanese army still has hope of turning the tables, if Seoul can't be kept, the Japanese army will really have no way to recover, and there is no choice but to retreat to the Busan area.

Therefore, this is not an opportunity, surround the vanguard of the Ming army, and then annihilate, and then fight with its main force, although it is not clear how much the Ming army sent, but the expedition came, the strength can not be too much, before observing the Ming army camp, most people's opinion is that the strength of the Ming army will not exceed 60,000, once he loses more than 10,000, the Ming army will have to stop the pace of attack, at that time, you can explain to Taige! This is the most crucial thing!

So, Kuroda Nagamasa intends to make a last stand.
