Chapter 290 The Mongolian army makes a move, is it different?(1/2)

Shao Er Jingzi knew in his heart that Utsunomiya Sadatsu's Cavalry reinforcements could not be reached in a short while. At least within ten days, I would not be able to count on it.

This means that the Kyushu samurai must guard the local area for at least ten days. But if this continues, even if the reinforcements from Utsunomiya Sadatsugu will arrive, how many troops will be left?

What Shao Er Jingzi was most worried about was not this. What he was most worried about was that the Yuangang no longer landed in Hakata Bay, Kitakyushu, but went south and instead attacked Ivan Bay or Nagasaki Port.

There is no stone wall defense there, and there is no heavy defense. Nowadays, all the elite soldiers of Kyushu are in Kitakyushu.

While the Japanese generals were worried, the Yuan generals were also discussing the topic of changing the direction of the attack.

The first ones who proposed to change the direction of the attack were Jin Fangqing, the chief and deputy marshals of the Goryeo Army, and Hong Chaqiu.

"Master, our army has attacked several times, but suffered heavy losses and has been unable to land. I believe that it is time to go south to attack Hirado or simply attack Kumamoto." Jin Fangqing said.

As the second-ranked figure of the Eastern Route Army, his words are still very important. Even if Xin is the commander and a noble family member of the Golden Family, he must pay attention to Jin Fangqing's proposal.

However, Xin was very unwilling to go south and attack other places.

Why?

Because the Dazaifu is right in front of you, only ten miles from the coast. It can be said that as long as you can successfully land, the Dazaifu will belong to the Yuan army. Once the Dazaifu is captured, the Eastern Expedition will be half successful.

It's like, what you think the most is right in front of you, and you can get it with all your efforts. Will you be willing to waste all your efforts and turn it to the next best?

In Xindu's opinion, it is insignificant that other places can be defeated, and all he wants is Dazaifu.

This idea is correct. As the western capital of Japan, Daizaifu not only has an extremely important position, but also has a wealthy state. It is said that the population in the city of Lion is more than 100,000 and there are many material reserves. More importantly, the Daizaifu area has maintained the connection between Kyushu and Honshu.

By occupying the Dazaifu, you can easily attack the state. However, if the Japanese country loses the Xidu, not only will the morale of the army and the people be shaken, but also will be even more dependent on sea routes if they want to support the Jiuzhou to resist the Yuan Dynasty.

If only Satsuma or Kumamoto were captured, but the Daizaifu was still in the hands of the Japanese army one day, the resistance of the Japanese army in Kyushu would not stop for a day. Reinforcements from the northern Japanese country would also continue to come.

This is why when the Central Plains were competing for Lu, many forces had to conquer Luoyang. If they did not conquer Luoyang, how could they be said to occupy the Central Plains?

Luoyang in Kyushu is the Xidu Dazaifu.

If Luoyang is not attacked, how many forces will do this when they fight Shangqiu, which is easy to attack? When Li Shimin fought in the east, he fought hard to attack Luoyang at all costs and ignored other areas of the Central Plains. This is the reason.

Therefore, Xindu quickly rejected the proposal of Jin Fangqing and others. His reasons were rude and direct. This commander only had the Dazaifu.

But this stubborn Mongolian man also compromised against the Goryeo generals. Next, the Goryeo army did not have to take their lives to attack the stone wall, but instead replaced it with the Red Army of the Detective Horse and the Mongolian Army.

Xindu knew very well that if the Goryeo Army wanted to take the lead, the Goryeo Army would collapse. Now it was the time to use people. As the commander, he naturally could not make the servants too disappointed. Even the hunting dogs needed some comfort to the master.

More importantly, he wanted to let the cowardly Koreans see how Mongolian warriors fought.

After a day of renovation on Iki Island, the Yuan army fleet drove into Hakata Bay again and launched the fourth strong attack on the Japanese stone wall.

This time, Xindu shortened the attack line to less than half a mile, dispatched 3,000 Mongolian troops and 3,000 Red Army to attack the fifth section of the Japanese army.

This is the first time the Mongolian army has taken action since the war began.

As soon as the war drum sounded, the three thousand Mongolian soldiers and the three thousand Semu Army rushed to the stone wall fiercely. They were equipped with iron armor, but the heavy iron armor seemed to not hinder their strong and tall bodies from moving. They carried short ladders that broke the cloud ladder into several pieces, and rushed towards the stone wall with swords and shields in hand.

"Mordoga!" (Conquer the enemy in Mongolian language!)

"Ah Hu Hehening!" (Kill the sheep in Mongolian language!)

"Alas Hehenning!"

The Mongolian soldiers and Seijing soldiers in front screamed and waved their scimitars, while the Mongolian soldiers and Seijing soldiers in back shot powerful feather arrows to cover the attacking warriors in front...

Mongolian soldiers used Mongolian compound horn bows, which had both power and range that exceeded the improved Japanese longbow. What's more, Mongolian soldiers had excellent shooting skills and high accuracy. Many archers who could draw strong bows directly shot the faces of Japanese warriors.

Many Japanese warriors were shot in the faces. Most of their faces could not block the feather arrows of the Mongolian strong bow.

"ah!"

"Baga!"

In a blink of an eye, there were hundreds of samurai soldiers shot. The Ryuzoji brothers who were responsible for defending the fifth stone wall were in a hurry and had to organize the wooden shield defense that had been prepared long ago. But in this way, although the Mongolian army's bow and arrow killing was greatly weakened, a large number of wooden shields also affected the attack of the Japanese army defending the wall.

Soon, thousands of Mongolian Seme soldiers who were attacking the tough battle rushed under the stone wall, and what was greeted was a dense spear like a forest.

The Japanese army's spear was more than ten feet long and stabbed from a high point, so the Mongolian Seminary soldiers could not get close to each other.

At this time, the strength of the Mongolian soldiers was shown. Relying on the protection of the iron armor, they waved their scimitars desperately, held their shields and faced the dense spears, and protected their companions to lean on the short ladder against the stone wall, and climbed up with a strange cry.

However, although the protection of Mongolian iron armor is stronger than that of leather armor, the Yuan army also has hand shields, but at such a close distance, it cannot completely resist the sharp spearhead, and the shield cannot completely protect the dense spearhead.

Some spears stabbed on the iron armor, and suddenly the spear rod broke, some were cut by the armor, and some were pierced through the iron armor, but they could not penetrate deep. However, many spears still pierced through the iron armor and stabbed the sharp spearhead into the bodies of Mongolian Segui soldiers.

Especially the Yuan army's iron armor did not have face armor, so many Japanese spearmen greeted the Yuan army's unprotected faces. Many Mongolian Seme soldiers were stabbed to death on their faces, but many spears were also cut off by the Mongolian Seme soldiers' scimitars.

For a moment, scrapped spears were everywhere on the ground.

Even many Mongolian soldiers danced their swords with one hand to resist the spear, threw away their shields, grabbed the spear with the other hand to pull the Japanese spearman down the stone wall, or snatched the spear.

In just a short time, a large number of Mongolian Seme soldiers were killed and injured under the Japanese spear forest. However, the archers in the back of the Yuan army also caused heavy casualties and injuries to the Japanese spearmen.

Many spearmen, if they showed their heads, were shot to death and injured.

"Kill the chicken!" Ryuzaoji Jiaqing threw away the folding fan, and no longer cared about the elegance, waved the sword and went to the battle to guard the wall himself.

The fifth section of the stone leaser was the focus of the attack of the Yuan army, and also concentrated two of the four most elite legions of the Dazaifu. These two legions were not guarded by any one, but were nominally the imperial army. But even though a large number of elite Japanese troops gathered here, the stone wall was in danger at this time.

Finally, some short ladders successfully mounted on the stone wall. A few fierce Mongolian soldiers were injured and pounced on the short stone wall. Like ferocious beasts, they crashed into the dense Japanese army and slashed and killed.

Since the war started, the Yuan army has climbed onto the stone wall for the first time.

Every Mongolian soldier attacked the stone wall, which brought several casualties to the Japanese army. Speaking of individual soldiers, whether it was physical, physical strength, or fighting skills, the Mongolian soldiers were obviously much stronger than the Japanese army. The only thing that the Japanese army could barely compete with the Mongolian soldiers was the fighting will.

When the Goryeo generals saw the performance of the Mongolian army, they had to admire him even if they were dissatisfied with the Mongolians.

If you compare yourself with others, you will die.

It is the same army, but once the Mongolian army takes action, it is still different.

Jin Fangqing and others originally thought that the Goryeo Army was very brave, but compared with the Mongolian Army, their performance was obviously much worse.

"Kill the chicken!" Seeing that some Mongolian soldiers broke into the stone trough, they were shocked and roared hysterically, leading the guards to come up to kill them with no chance.

"Ahhh!" Another fierce Mongolian soldier also broke into the stone wall. His face was covered in blood, his helmet was knocked off, revealing his ugly braids, and a big pie face and thick beard, which looked extremely ferocious.

As soon as the Mongolian soldier broke into the stone wall, he happened to encounter the defensive general Ryuzaoji Jiaqing, who was in the fifth section of the stone wall.

"Baga! Kill the Mongolian Tatars!" Ryuzoji Yaqi was furious when he saw this and rushed forward without hesitation.

"Ah Hehening!" The Mongolian soldier also waved his scimitar and rushed forward desperately.

"Puchi!" A Japanese samurai's head flew into the sky, and the Mongolian soldier was stabbed by a spear, but he was not stabbed in.

The Mongolian soldiers shouted loudly, grabbed the spear, waved the long sword fiercely, and split half of a Japanese army's head.

At this time, the Taidao of Ryuzaoji Jiaqing was also killed by fiercely.

With a "puff", the sharp sword pierced into the gap of the Mongolian soldiers' iron armor and into his chest. Almost at the same time, the Mongolian soldiers' scimitar also broke through the neck protection of Ryuzaoji Yaqing and cut half of the sword into Ryuzaoji Yaqing's neck.

Ryuzoji Ieki's head suddenly hung from his neck, and blood was shot out with great difficulty.

"Your Excellency!!" The warrior next to him shouted in a sad voice, roared and rushed forward, killing the seriously injured and dying Mongolian soldiers.

The highest commander of the fifth section of the stone wall, Ryuzakiji Ikeki, was killed in battle!

"Kill the chicken!" Ji Shi, the younger brother of the Qing family of the Ryuzaoji, saw that his elder brother died in battle, didn't even bother to come and take a look, so he desperately led his people to encircle and suppress a few Mongolian soldiers who broke into the stone wall.

Although Mongolian soldiers continued to break into the stone wall, the number was too small after all. After a terrible hand-to-hand combat, they were all surrounded and killed.

The Japanese army finally guarded the stone wall dangerously.

However, the Japanese army suffered extremely heavy losses.

The Mongolian soldiers who broke into the stone wall actually had only a hundred people, but they caused hundreds of casualties to the Japanese army. Even the general Ryuzaoji Jiaqing was killed.

These are not slight deer, but elite warriors of the Kingdom of God!

The Mongolian eyewitnesses who were fighting the tough, saw that they could not capture the stone wall, but still fought to the death. Under the cover of archers, they continued to climb the wall one after another. However, they were constantly blocked by the Japanese army who were united in unity.

Xindu looked at this scene with a gloomy face, his face turned ashen, terrible.

Nearly a thousand Mongolian warriors have been killed in battle, right? We can't continue to fight like this. Every Mongolian warrior is precious.

"Ming Jin, retreat!" Xindu ordered, "Let the brave and fearless Mongolian warriors leave the damn stone wall. But our archers should not stop hunting! Let the cowardly Japanese taste what it feels like to have the arrows of Mongolian hunters!"

Next, the Mongolian Sei Eyemen no longer attacked the stone wall, but retreated to the beach and began to shoot arrows together.

More Mongolian Seme soldiers got off the boat and simply stood in the waist-deep sea to participate in archery.

For a time, the Yuan army had more than 10,000 archers.

The dense rain of arrows fell behind the stone wall, and every volley shot was like a rush.

Although the Japanese army behind the stone wall prepared a lot of shields, the arrow rain was too dense, so people were shot and killed every moment.

The Japanese bows and arrows were limited in power compared to the Mongolian horn bows and did not threaten the Yuan army enough. In addition, the Japanese army's physical strength and archery skills were not as good as those of Mongolian eyewitnesses, so they were immediately at a disadvantage in large-scale shooting.

The arrow rains of the two armies crisscrossed in the air, and they were full of arrow rains in the air.

The two armies fired at each other for half an hour. The Yuan army archers changed several batches and shot out more than 300,000 feather arrows, consuming 20% ​​of the feather arrow reserves in one breath.

The Japanese army also shot up to 200,000 arrows. Although the Japanese army's arrow rain had limited damage to the Yuan army, they had to fight back, otherwise the Yuan gang would take the opportunity to attack the wall.

When the shooting ended, the Yuan army collected all the Japanese feather arrows, and the Japanese army also collected all the Yuan army's feather arrows.

Because the Yuan army shot tens of thousands more arrows than the Japanese army, it was equivalent to losing more than 100,000. Because the Japanese army shot tens of thousands less, it was equivalent to making more than 100,000.
