Chapter 632 Ambush 3
The balance of war has been like the Ming side from the beginning. It has many troops, strong firepower, full food and warm clothing, and has the power of long-term victory.
On the contrary, the only thing that supports them is a desire to survive. As long as you enter the Black Mist Mountain, you can survive.
However, the emergence of the Ming ambush completely broke their wish. The shouts of killing all over the mountains and fields made all the Gumu Army feel like falling into an ice cellar. Under the siege of Ming soldiers, they were now firmly surrounded like dumpling fillings.
Just like peeling off the cocoon, under the attack of the Ming Dynasty, rows of archers and rifles fell to the ground, especially the archers and riflesmen, causing them very serious damage, and at the same time, they suffered the greatest losses.
The surrounded Komu Army was like a frightened bird, desperately trying to fly out, but the Ming Dynasty encirclement was like a cage, making them have no way to fly out even if they wanted to fly out.
Muskets and archers caused considerable casualties to these Komu Army, but the same was true for those infantrymen. When they approached the Komu Army, they threw out grenades one after another. This light and powerful weapon was undoubtedly a very good weapon for the Komu Army that was crowded together. A grenade was thrown over and there was a sudden casualty and injury.
The Ming Dynasty's attack was completely irresistible to the Mu army, so these Mu army had to keep retreating, and then their space for movement became smaller and smaller. Of course, the resistance encountered by the Ming soldiers became stronger and stronger, just like a spring.
However, even the springs were tired. Under the powerful attack of the Ming Dynasty, the Komu Army had gradually lost the will to resist. No one had the confidence that they could survive by resisting them under such an encirclement. If they wanted to survive, they could only break through.
So, the Kogi Army Gate began to shift the target of the attack and began to concentrate on both ends, because the Ming Dynasty, which only had the least military strength at both ends, was also the weakest place to attack. Of course, there was another point that Kirishima Mountain behind the Ming soldiers was a great temptation for them.
As soon as the Komu army changed the target of the counterattack, the Ming soldiers at both ends suddenly increased. After all, the Komu army was still relatively large, and now they were like dying beasts. The counterattack before the beast died was somewhat fierce.
Under this counterattack, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were immediately forced to retreat a lot, and some places immediately became vacant. Some Komu soldiers immediately escaped from the vacant. Just like a dam, the gap slowly expanded, and many Komu soldiers rushed towards this place. Now they were no longer thinking about how to kill the enemy, but how to escape.
Tang Qihan planned to go on the battlefield himself, but at the beginning of the attack, the Ming soldiers immediately wrapped the Kou Mu Army like an iron bucket. He had no chance to get in, so he could only stand at a high place to look at the overall situation.
Seeing that Komu Army actually tear out a gap in the encirclement, more and more Komu Army were running towards the gap, intending to escape from the gap to Kirishima Mountain. When he turned over, he immediately stepped onto the war horse. He waved the machete in his hand and shouted: "Crash with me!"
The reserve troops that were close to two thousand followed Tang Qihan and rushed towards the gap. At the same time, more than a thousand archers also followed behind and rushed towards the gap.
Under the attack of the Komu Army, this gap was getting bigger. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty suffered a lot of casualties and are now retreating step by step. When the Komu Army saw the way out, they all rushed towards this place.
"Arrowman, shoot the arrow!"
Tang Qihan waved his sword and shouted.
The archers followed behind and immediately started working to get arrows and shot at the Mujun who were fleeing in a hurry.
Under the rain of arrows, many Kou Mujun fell to the ground one after another, and the escape of Kou Mujun couldn't help but slow down.
And taking advantage of this opportunity, Tang Qihan shouted loudly and said, "Kill!"
After saying that, he shook the reins and rushed towards the Mujun, and behind him, two thousand swords and axemen also roared downwards.
With a wave of the big knife in his hand, he immediately cut off a Komu Jun's head. However, Komu Jun, who was running in front, had not stopped yet. After running a few steps, he rushed to the ground with a normal sound.
Tang Qihan laughed, and did not stop at all in his hand, slashing left and right. With each knife, these Mumen Army were often slashed by one or two pieces. In just a short time, five or six people had fallen under his sword. Although Tang Qihan was already old, none of them was his opponent.
The soldiers behind him also joined the battle group at this time, and the fleeing soldiers fought together.
At this time, the coach was completely the core figure of the team, which was directly related to morale. Tang Qihan was so brave that he directly led the soldiers. The soldiers who had been avoided by the Komu Army also leaned over under strong pressure and then sealed the broken gap again. However, in this short period of time, the Komu Army, which had exceeded thousands of people, escaped.
Tang Qihan has no extra troops to chase after many people in the past, so he simply ignored it and concentrated his troops to eliminate the enemies in the encirclement.
The battle continued, and a thick layer of blood was now covered with the ground, and every step was slashed with blood.
However, no one on both sides of the battle was still fighting hard, and some of them were still entangled on the ground.
Slowly, it became dark. The ambush of the more than 70,000 Komu Army, which had been more than 70,000 Komu Army, had basically been eliminated. Only more than 10,000 people successfully escaped, and the rest were all dead at the hands of the Ming soldiers. Now, the soldiers who had landed on the shore can be basically eliminated. At the beginning, Yoshimasato's plan was completely shattered.
The news of the Kōmu Army was quickly sent to Jianglang. Under Jianglang's leadership, the Ming Dynasty was unstoppable along the way and occupied a large area of the Kōmu Army's land. Now it has occupied Kobe, heading towards Osaka and Kyoto.
As for the forces organized by Yamashiro Chifeng, they were just appetizers for the Ming Dynasty and basically did not pose too much threat. Because of this, they could be like a no-man along the way.
Seeing the information sent from his hand, Jiang Lang laughed, slapped the table, and said, "The Old General Tang is indeed a treasure sword. The 70,000 troops that the Koji Army landed on Kyushu Island have basically been eliminated. Only less than 10,000 troops left and fled into Kirishima Mountain. In this way, the Shikoku Island basically has not much force."
"Yeah?"
Deng Yuanjue next to him asked at this time.
Jiang Lang handed the information in his hand to Deng Yuanjue and said, "Look at it yourself, this is the information I just sent!"
Deng Yuanjue took the information and took a look, then smiled and said, "As it turns out, Old General Tang should have nothing to complain about now!"
"I think so!"
Jiang Lang laughed and said, "Now my ears can be quiet. Finally, I will not complain every time I see him, I will treat him like a treasure, not let him go to the battlefield, and not give him a big fight. When I meet him, I will not hear his complaints!"
Deng Yuanjue nodded and asked, "Now there is no force in Shiguo Island, so can our 100,000 people be transferred to attack Shiguo Island and take him down?"
Jiang Lang pondered for a moment. He was thinking about this question now, but after thinking about it, he still felt it was inappropriate, so he immediately said: "It will be a matter of time before taking down Shikoku Island. You can't be too hasty now. Yamana Shinto's main force has been eliminated, but now we are approaching Kyoto. Not long ago, Hosokawa Katsumoto had mobilized more than 200,000 troops to station in the name of serving the king. For us, this is a new threat and we must not be guarded against. So I will mobilize the remaining 100,000 troops as soon as possible to maintain the absolute strength of the counterpart Mu army!"
Deng Yuanjue pondered for a moment and said, "Is it not that Hosokawa Katsumoto and Yamanashiki have always been incompatible, and now it seems that the same is true. We are in a state of great strength along the way. Yamanashiki was defeated in a mess, and he has never sent troops to help!"
"How can one mountain accommodate two tigers?"
Jianglang smiled faintly and said, "Hosokawa Katsumoto wished that Yama Nakaki was killed by us by one soldier. In this way, he would have the chance to be the king of this place. As for Ashikaga Yoshimasa, he would be just a puppet at that time."
"It's just a dog biting a dog!"
Deng Yuanjue smiled and said, "However, Hosokawa Katsumoto's idea is too naive. Does he really think his army can resist our attack!"
"I have to be careful!"
Jiang Lang sighed and said, "In the past two years, Hosokawa Katsumoto has made up his mind, so the army has also been well trained. It is not as easy to beat him like Yama Nakakito!"
