Chapter 1242: Defeat is like a mountain
"I'm Amaterasu, are you going to abandon us?"
Even Shimazu Kurye, who has been a great enemy for a long time, was shocked by these dozens of flowering cannons as soon as he came up, the power is too strong, just this wave of artillery bombardment, the Satsuma clan army suffered at least 200 casualties! If this is shelled continuously on the battlefield for a day, I am afraid that there will be only a few people left in the army of my Satsuma domain!
Taka Kato on the side is even more shocked with his mouth open, it's over! It's no wonder that Hirado, Nagasaki, and Fukuoka couldn't support it for even half a month, and the power of this artillery is too great, right? How many troops can't withstand such ferocious artillery fire!
"Lord Erfan! What to do? ”
Takashi Kato asked urgently.
Shimazu Hisashi's nose is crooked, what the hell, you ask me? You are one of the best generals in the Satsuma Domain, and in front of the two armies, you actually asked me what to do?
"You still have the face to ask me? Aren't you always boasting that you're the number one commander of the Satsuma Domain? You should show me a little skill! ”
Shimazu Kulie shouted.
Kato Eagle's face turned red, yes, I mean that I am the number one general of the Satsuma Domain, and even whether the entire Dongying can surpass his own, are talking about it, but what we are facing is not the combat power of Dongying, it is the combat power of the Ming Empire, although the people of the Ming Empire are weak, but the land is vast and rich, and the hidden dragon is a crouching tiger, who knows that there is a real dragon in that mud pit? Look at these cannons, what a problem, who would have imagined that the firearms of the Ming Empire would suddenly become so powerful! Even the firearms of the Western powers are not as powerful as the Ming Empire, and the powerful ones don't know how to resist at all!
When the two of them were anxious and frightened, the second wave of the Ming army's attack arrived, and it was another salvo, dozens of shells, which once again destroyed the position of the Satsuma Domain.
"Second Lord, no matter what, we can't be beaten passively like this!"
Kato shouted: "For today's plan, either withdraw the troops and wait for backup, or the army will break through to the artillery position and fight to the death with the Ming army in the southeast, it is best to grab their artillery, as long as these artillery pieces are in our hands, the Ming army will be defeated!" At the very least, as long as we break through the artillery defense of the Ming army, our infantry will not be passively beaten! ”
Shimazu Kulie gritted his teeth, what Kato Taka said was right, no matter what he did, he couldn't stay where he was and be beaten passively, the power of the Ming army's artillery was too great!
"Order, mobilize 3,000 elites, and launch a fierce attack on the Ming army in the southeast! Be sure to crush your opponents! ”
Shimazu Kulie shouted sharply, and an elite force of the Satsuma Domain began to rapidly advance in the southeast direction! The two armies are now only three miles apart, and the elite infantry is advancing at full speed, which is only a little more than ten minutes away, and it is only enough for the Ming artillery to launch four or five waves of attacks, and the Satsuma Domain army is really smarter than the Manchurian elite cavalry, knowing that the opponent's artillery is powerful, the formation quickly dispersed, and it is definitely braving the enemy's artillery fire to charge intensively!
After only two or three waves of artillery attacks, the Satsuma clan army had already rushed to a distance of less than five hundred paces from the Ming army, and if it advanced further, it would be a dead end for artillery firing!
"Charge, charge!"
Shimazu Kulie and Kato Taka in the back were also excited, rushing over, just rush over! The Ming army had limited troops under the fort, and it was definitely no match for the Satsuma Domain's army!
"Order, the whole army charges, and first solve the artillery of the Ming army!"
The so-called shooting people first shoot horses, capture thieves first capture kings, artillery is the sharpest spear in the hands of the Ming army, as long as the sharpest weapon of the Ming army is solved, then the combat power of the Ming army is not to be feared, at least the Satsuma army self-protection is not a problem!
However, the Satsuma clan army patronized the charge, but they forgot that there was a cavalry hidden behind the artillery!
The cavalry is not much, but it is only 3,000 elite cavalry, but only 3,000 elite cavalry, that is also the elite cavalry of Nanjing Right Town, and it can even be said that it is the strongest elite cavalry of the Ming Dynasty!
The leader of the cavalry was the fierce general Zhao Xin!
Zhao Xin gave an order, and three thousand elite horsemen brazenly slaughtered from behind and went straight to the Satsuma Domain's army!
Kill!
The three thousand elite horsemen rushed towards the Satsuma Domain's army at full speed, the sabre in their hands shining with cold light, and went straight to the soldiers of the Satsuma Domain!
The distance between the two sides is only three or five hundred steps, which is a matter of an instant for the cavalry, and the Satsuma Domain army has not even woken up, and the elite cavalry of the Tianxiong army has already rushed to the side!
Tiger into the flock!
How could the scattered infantry of the Satsuma Domain be able to withstand the full charge of the elite cavalry of the Tianxiong Army in front of them, and in an instant, the Satsuma Domain Army was shocked by the three thousand elite cavalry! It is simply impossible to counterattack, and the elite of three thousand infantry, even in the elite, cannot be compared with the elite cavalry in a rapid advance!
Shimazu Hisayu in the back was directly dizzy!
"It's not good, it's the cavalry of the Ming army, withdraw the troops, withdraw the troops!"
Shimazu Jiulie is not stupid, although the terrain here is not flat, but the cavalry is cavalry, and it is an elite cavalry, once the speed is released, it is definitely the existence of one enemy three, or even one enemy five! What's more, people still have infantry artillery to help? If the fight continues, the Satsuma Domain will definitely suffer a big loss!
However, if you want to run now, it's a little late, almost at the same time, on the fort, the attack also began, and one artillery directly hit the Satsuma Domain Army, and smashed it in the Satsuma Domain Army, there are wolves in front and tigers in the back, and the Satsuma Domain Army is now a fat cow sandwiched between tigers and wolves......
"Kill!"
Cha Xuan had already mounted his war horse, and rushed down directly from the top of the fort with the Daguan knife in his hand, and the elite of the Tianxiong Army on both sides rushed straight towards the Satsuma Domain's army, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and the momentum was terrifying!
"Retreat, retreat, retreat!"
Shimazu Kuree's face changed miserably, and he didn't dare to fight anymore, leading the army of the Satsuma clan to run quickly behind him!
However, at this time, in the northwest direction of the fort, a Ming army also began to charge, and was rapidly advancing towards the north, obviously, this was to copy the back road of the Satsuma Domain!
"Lord Erfan, no, I'm retreating for you, there are also thousands of elite Ming troops behind, our back road has been cut off, and we can only break through to the northeast!"
Kato Takashi shouted urgently, Shimazu Hisashi was in a hurry, there were enemies in all three directions, and now only the north could escape, run! Come on! As long as you can escape alive, it's better than anything else!
"Order the three armies to immediately retreat towards Osumi Town and defend Osumi Town! Pegasus immediately asks for help from the Lord of Fan, quickly! ”
