A company of soldiers against two hundred ronins, if measured by the combat effectiveness of other Ming troops, especially the Weisuo army, no matter how you look at it, it will be a sure defeat, not to mention that the number of the other party is twice as many as their own. The people of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info are also full of confidence, and the elimination of this small Ming army must be the same as before, as easy as chopping melons and vegetables. However, they didn't know that the opposite side was not the waste wood-like Weisu Army, but the Qiongzhou Battalion, which was the first in the world to enter the threshold of a modern army.

Although the Japanese invaders ravaged the coastal areas of Fujian and Guangzhou during the Jiajing period, coming and going like the wind, invincible, and making the Ming Dynasty soldiers and civilians change their colors for decades, it does not mean that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese invaders has reached the point where the Ming army cannot be defeated. Before Qi Jiguang recruited Yiwu miners to train the new army, the reason why the Ming army was defeated again and again, and even there were dozens of strange examples of Ming troops who could defeat hundreds of Ming troops, the most fundamental reason was the collapse of the guard system, resulting in the inland guard army almost no combat effectiveness at all. The elite border army responsible for guarding the frontier could not be easily transferred because they wanted to guard against the Tatars, and gave the Japanese Kou the condition that "there are no tigers in the mountains and monkeys are the overlords", and the core of the Japanese Invaders are ronins and samurai, and their personal combat skills and combat experience are far superior to those of ordinary Ming troops, and it is not surprising that the Ming army has been defeated repeatedly.

In a word, the professional robbers beat the peasants in all directions, that is because they did not meet professional opponents, and when Qi Jiguang's new army was trained, he easily defeated the Japanese robbers with the wolf whisk (Note 1) made of big bamboo and the mandarin duck array, and the casualty comparison was simply made by Makqin against Hanyang.

The soldiers of the Qiongzhou battalion, who were trained according to the standards of the modern army, had strict discipline and advanced fighting methods, and their combat effectiveness was even higher than that of the Qi family's army. Even if the most skilled platoon guns could not be used due to the narrow terrain, the bayonets alone could not compete with the pirates. The ronins with strong individual quality, in the face of the bayonet formation in a tight formation, could not find the rhythm of the previous slaughter of the Ming army, and were defeated by the seemingly monotonous but powerful spurs, except for repeatedly throwing corpses, the ronins had no way to break this hedgehog-like formation.

The soldiers rhythmically shouted "Kill!" Repeating the action of kicking the ground with his right foot and thrusting forward with his waist and arms, he saw the ronin on the opposite side who danced the katana with fancy swords die under the bayonets one by one, feeling that these opponents were much easier to deal with than the rebels in Shandong.

After a few rounds, nearly half of the 200 ronins were killed or wounded, but the soldiers of the guard company only suffered sporadic casualties, and the battle losses were very different, and the strength and weakness were clear.

The fierce battle attracted more ronins in the vicinity, and at the same time, the soldiers of the four companies in charge of the sweep of the two flanks also arrived in time, and the main forces of both sides were basically in line, and the small open space was suddenly filled.

With such a density of the crowd and such a narrow space, there was no need to think about loading and shooting, and the newly arrived soldiers did not hesitate to pick up their bayonets and join the battle.

The soldiers of the first battalion received the order to kill, and the ronin had no way to retreat, although the balance of victory fell to the Qiongzhou battalion early, but the battle still continued, the killing sound shook the sky, blood flowed all over the ground, surrounded by soldiers with resolute expressions and distorted faces, corpses were all over the ground, and this small place suddenly became a small Shura purgatory.

When Shimazu Mitsuhisa heard the news, he climbed down from the prefect's daughter, put on his clothes and rushed here, just in time to witness the scene of the "invincible" Japanese samurai being suppressed by the soldiers of the Qiongzhou battalion -- the opponents of the Satsuma clan who had been shocked with firearms and cannons were now slaughtering the ronin who had relied on katana for their entire lives with a short blade of fire, and now it has a tendency to turn into a unilateral massacre.

Shimazu Mitsuhisa was deeply shocked, it turned out that the idea of land warfare to suppress the opponent's head was just his own wishful thinking, not only the firearms were sharp, but the white-knuckle combat was far superior to his own, and the Qiongzhou battalion was actually so powerful! He originally wanted to wait until the Qiongzhou camp was beaten by the ronins and his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and then he pretended to mediate, and he took all the face, but the development of things was completely opposite. Although he arrived with the samurai from his headquarters, after witnessing all this, he did not dare to make any moves to provoke the Qiongzhou battalion, and just watched the ronin being slaughtered blankly.

The situation on the battlefield became delicate, and the soldiers of the five companies faced nearly 1,000 ronin, facing twice the number of opponents, and the battle turned into a one-sided situation, and the 1,000 samurai of the Satsuma clan who arrived later watched from the rear, as if watching the Ming army slaughter their own compatriots.

After the confidence was destroyed, the battle was absolutely inferior, and persistence became meaningless, and the "employer" who was supposed to support them chose to watch from the sidelines, which became the straw that crushed their beliefs, and after hundreds of dead and wounded, the remaining ronins were forced into a corner, and the movement of swinging knives to block became sluggish and slow, and finally some people simply gave up resistance.

Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, coupled with the fact that Shimazu Mitsuhisa, a group of fresh forces, was peeping on the sidelines, and his intentions were unclear, Huang Hansheng ordered to temporarily stop the attack. The soldiers of the first battalion had exerted a lot of physical strength, and they took the opportunity to rest and recover their strength.

Without the soul-chasing bayonet attack, the remnants of the ronin sat on their knees as if they had been pardoned, supporting their bodies with knives, gasping for breath, and as for the slippery blood under them, they couldn't take care of it.

Huang Hansheng took the lead and has been on the front line of assassination, his face and body are splashed with blood, but they are not his own, and he looks hideous and terrifying. He looked at Shimazu Mitsuhisa quietly, and asked coldly: "Shimazu Mitsuhisa, when you ordered the slaughter of the city, did you ever think of this moment?" ”

Shimazu Mitsuhisa trembled, knelt down involuntarily, and hissed to plead: "I didn't give an order, nor did I slaughter the city, but these people didn't listen to my orders and robbed some property, and the people in the city didn't have many casualties, please be clear!" ”

Seeing the lord kneeling, the samurai of the Satsuma clan were at a loss, so they had to kneel down with him, and immediately knelt on the ground with a hula.

Note 1: The wolf whizzle, also known as the spear, also known as the wolf tooth whi, was originally invented by the miners' rebel army in the Ming Dynasty, and was later one of the weapon configurations of the "Mandarin Duck Array" practiced by Qi Jiguang when he resisted the Japanese invaders. The wolf whisk is the use of the southern growth of the bamboo, choose its old and solid, the end of the bamboo obliquely cut into a pointed shape, and leave sharp branches around it, each wolf whisk is about 3 meters long, specially used to block the defense, to create offensive opportunities for their own knife hands.
