"Hiss-Si Guoyi!"

"Yes, the firepower of the shogunate army is really powerful."

"No, I'm not saying that the shogunate army is powerful."

"ah?"

"The most powerful ones are the people of the Ming Dynasty. They advanced under such fierce artillery fire without any chaos in the formation. This is the real elite division."

Telescopes are no longer a rare thing because of time-travelers. At this moment, many of the ministers on Mount Atago are holding telescopes to watch the battle below the mountain.

During the battle for more than half an hour, many soldiers from both sides fell. But it was obvious that the Ming army, which was attacking from the rear, suffered more casualties.

But people who really know something about military science will see completely different things from such battles than those who are purely amateurs.

Despite such casualties, the Ming army still continued to approach the Tokugawa army's defense line neatly and resolutely. Whether it was the ministers watching the battle on the mountain or the shogunate officers directly facing the Ming army at the foot of the mountain, they all felt a sense of solemn oppression.

And as the Ming army's artillery continued to advance along with the infantry, and finally hit the inside of the Tokugawa army's position, the Tokugawa army's battle line actually became a little loose.

"Now!" Mao Wenlong, who was commanding at the front, raised his right hand high and then pressed forward fiercely!

Several trumpeters stood up beside him, and then blew the charge horn that most Chinese in the 21st century are familiar with.

After the charge horn sounded, the Ming soldiers standing in the first row were still raising their guns and shooting, but behind them, there was a uniform sound of "clang" of bayonet handles entering the groove of the gun head.

As the "clang" sound suddenly sounded and disappeared quickly, officers at all levels on the long front shouted in unison:

"Brothers! Charge with me!"

In response to these calls, there was a wave of more violent sounds:

"Mighty! Long live!"

The roar of the mountains rang out, and countless Ming soldiers wearing yellow-green camouflage and half-plate armor on their upper bodies roared in unison, quickly changed from walking to running, and headed toward the direction at a very fast speed, which was only more than a hundred away at this time.

The Japanese army sprinted!

"咃する~!"

"Onboard~!"

Seeing the soldiers of the Ming Army rushing over from the opposite side, the commanders of the Tokugawa Army were helpless: more than 100 meters away, the enemy would rush in with a single shot from their flintlocks. If they didn't rush forward, they would wait until the opponent rushed over.

, our side just got into the rhythm of reloading and it was over.

Therefore, even though our soldiers are much shorter than the opponent, they still have to grit their teeth and charge.

Such a short distance, just one or two breaths. The soldiers from both sides fought together. The sounds of sharp weapons being blocked by bayonets, the dull sound of metal penetrating flesh, and the screams of injured soldiers were all mixed together.

Together, they quickly formed a requiem song from hell.

...

"Huh~" Zhu Youdong, who was watching the battle from behind, gently put down the telescope and let out a sigh of relief.

This was the first time in his two lives that he had truly been to the battlefield in person - after all, the battle in Siam had already been fought when he arrived, and Luo Jia Pagoda readily surrendered when he saw that things could not be done.

In this day's battle, if at the beginning the Ming army had to take the initiative to attack due to the slight disadvantage of geographical location, and paid a lot of price for it. When the tall Ming soldiers did not collapse during the advance and entered the close combat process,

Even if our side has completely recovered its disadvantage and gained an advantage. At this point in the battle, the possibility of our side's collapse is slim. The rest depends on the courage and will of the soldiers.

"Commander Cao, you have trained a good soldier."

"They are all loyal to the emperor, so the soldiers can treat death like home."

After answering this sentence quickly, Cao Wenzhao raised a flag in his hand and waved it violently. Then Zhu Youdong saw on the tower a group of lightning rods, riding their war horses, they began to charge forward vigorously.

But after this team of lightning rods arrived at the battlefield where the two armies were fighting, they did not continue to charge forward. They all dismounted, drove their mounts back, and roared that neither warring party could understand at the moment.

In his own language, he roared and rushed into the formation.

"Hahaha, Jurchens, fake cavalry, real infantry..."

"Your Majesty, if these Jurchens were allowed to move forward despite the artillery fire just now, they would not be able to do it. But if they are thrown in now, it will be like a battering ram!"

"Well, I have said that I will not interfere with Commander Cao's specific command matters. And this move just now is a very good move even for someone like me who doesn't know much about military affairs."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust."

"Shuai Cao, what are you going to do next?"

"Your Majesty, our army has the advantage at this moment. Now it is the opponent's commander's turn to make the first move, and then I will make corresponding fine-tuning according to the opponent's adjustments."

Speaking of the commander of the other side, the commander-in-chief of the shogunate army who is on the front line at the moment is Tokugawa Yoshinao's close confidant Yagyu Torajiro Sotora - as the current shogun, he completely surrendered to the past family when he was still the heir. The Yagyu family is Tokugawa Yoshitsune.

The family that has always been the most trusted. Almost all of the somewhat decent young people in the family are officers who directly control the new army.

After the two sides began to engage in hand-to-hand combat, Mr. Tiger felt that the situation was not good: the rifles of both sides were almost the same length when equipped with bayonets, but you couldn't resist the fact that the Ming soldiers were taller and had longer arms! And it wasn't just the height difference, it was obvious.

In terms of size, Ming soldiers were generally taller and stronger than Japanese soldiers. Such an obvious physical difference meant that the two sides only had a brief confrontation for less than half an hour. Yagyu Sotora was surprised to find that the hand-to-hand combat ratio between the two sides was at least

More than one to three!

(By the way, during the Anti-Japanese War, due to the huge gap in physical fitness, Chinese soldiers and Japanese soldiers fought with hot weapons, and the battle damage ratio was one to six. Hand-to-hand combat was a sad one to ten.)

"Bagh Ya Road! This can't go on like this!" Although our soldiers were still fighting desperately at this time, Zong Hu clearly saw that when the powerful barbarian troops with long helmets on their heads entered.

Soldiers fell more frequently in hand-to-hand combat. If adjustments were not made, our front line would collapse in less than an hour.

"Commander!"

"Hi!"

"First, report the battle situation here to Lord Zongju behind us and ask for tactical guidance. Second, signal, let Lord Jing Yi's cavalry attack."

"Hi!"

After these two orders were issued, just a moment later, even the ministers watching the battle from afar on Mount Atago felt a dense, thunderous and rhythmic sound ringing in their ears. And under their feet

, the frequency of the ground shaking is obviously more obvious than the shaking in the morning.

"This is the opponent's cavalry." Cao Wenzhao, who was standing on the high platform, muttered, but his movements were not slow. He took out another flag and waved it quickly, and then followed the flags in various ways.

The relay shook. After that, dense thunder quickly appeared on both sides of the Ming army's battle line!

At 11:20 in the morning, on the left side of this long front, countless knights with flags on their backs suddenly appeared on the horizon. They wore traditional Japanese samurai uniforms and various kinds of equipment, driving their horses. , quickly charged towards the center of the battlefield.

The first few knights were wearing red armor and riding tall horses. Beside the general, several knights held high the Ii family's tangerine expert emblem. Behind them, as the knights crossed the horizon one by one, they appeared in the sight of Zhu Youdong and others. There were more and more cavalry, until the surging cavalry covered the entire battlefield!

On the other side of the battlefield, Man Gui led more than 10,000 Ming army cavalry in half-plate armor, all riding tall horses and holding sabers, and they were also struggling towards the center of the battlefield.

"The enemy is defeated~!"

"Ouch~!"

"Brothers, kill!"

"Kill~!"
