Chapter 480: Conquering Japanese

He repeatedly instructed to hold back the main force of the Kyushu Japanese army and not to be able to escape and support Edo, laying a solid foundation for the next stage of siege of Edo.

Half a month later, Fukuoka.

It took the Japanese army half a month to gather an army of 50,000 people to launch a counterattack against 40,000 Korean troops in the southeast of Fukuoka. Veterans who were nearly Chinese armored found their ancestors from the ground.

The armor, iron cannon used in the Warring States Period, gathered from all directions to the Fukuoka frontline.

50,000 to 40,000, the troops are roughly equal and evenly matched.

In half a month, Mao Wenlong had already established three lines of defense, using various roadblocks and trenches to make the defense line bumpy. The cavalry took turns to interfere with the gathering Japanese army. This kind of harassment war was exactly what Mao Wenlong was best at.

, in a few days, he had achieved good results, beheading nearly a thousand. The Japanese army that was gathering was in chaos, with groups everywhere in the east and west, completely in a state of disorder.

This is the Kyushu land that was cleaned by Tokugawa Ieyasu, facing chaos when the enemy invaded.

The group of dragons has no heads, and it is perfect to describe them in these four words. The Japanese army in Jiuzhou is now in a situation where the group of dragons has no heads, and is in a chaotic state of fighting each other.

In the commander camp, Mao Wenlong fiddled with an iron cannon seized by the cavalry and carefully appreciated it.

The Japanese call this kind of musket a Satsuma gun, also called an iron cannon, which was equipped with a large amount of equipment in the Japanese army in Jiuzhou. Mao Wenlong's mouth twitched, and he was quite surprised. This thing looked quite powerful, and he knew at a glance that he was studying under Franchise.

The things made by people are even more powerful than the second-hand bird guns equipped by the North Korean army. The personal soldiers have already tested the shooting, and they can break armor within forty steps, and their lethality is amazing.

In addition, the cavalry also seized all kinds of strange large guns, all placed in Mao Wenlong's commander's camp.

There is a large, thick and long gun weighing twenty kilograms, whose caliber actually exceeded the heavy convex gun, and its range is actually three hundred steps away. There is also a large gun called the Japanese killing, which weighs more than one hundred kilograms and fires.

The corners of Mao Wenlong's mouth twitched again. Isn't this a tiger squatting cannon? The firearms of the Ming and Japanese people are indeed in line with each other. They are both disciples of the Portuguese, and this is not a glorious thing.

The tiger squat cannon, the Franchising Army was also equipped with some, but the number was not large. Mao Wenlong had already keenly smelled a bad smell. This battle was probably difficult to fight. Scholars were not honest and harmed people, and scholars from the Ming Dynasty said

The Japanese were a group of primitive weapons. Where did the Japanese have any terrifying weapons? The Japanese's equipment ranged from the squat gun to the tiger squat cannon and the Fran machine cannon. This is much more sophisticated than the Korean army.

Mao Wenlong cursed the scholar in his heart, and had already made up his mind. I just couldn't hide. I pushed the army up and held the three thousand elite cavalry tightly. What are you doing to me? It's not good for me to use three thousand in war.

The iron cavalry can open a bloody road at any time and retreat to the sea. What does the life and death of the Korean army have to do with me?

A few days later, three staff officers from the Staff Department arrived.

Mao Wenlong breathed a sigh of relief and reported the current situation of the Japanese army one by one, and then sent it to the general to see it.

As the war begins, the intelligence collection of Japanese troops by the Taiwan Town Army General Staff Department has also been greatly accelerated.

The Japanese army experienced the chaotic Warring States Period, and its equipment was very close to Westernization. In addition, the Japanese army also had three-stage shooting methods, which were invented by Oda Nobunaga, and the so-called fishing bottle strike, also known as "sniper iron cannon", is

The meaning of guns and cannons can also mean continuous shooting or simultaneous shooting. It was invented by Sun Shin, the leader of the most powerful mercenary unit in the Warring States Period. The feature is that an iron cannon is used by four people, and one person is responsible for aiming and firing the gun.

There is one person on the left, right, and back, each responsible for different tasks, one responsible for loading bullets, one responsible for loading gunpowder, and the other responsible for hanging a fuse.

The General Office concluded that the Japanese army was not vulnerable, and reminded all generals to be careful.

The Japanese army has a mature and complete set of musket tactics in elite troops, and should not be underestimated. To this day, the Staff Office has long established a lofty position among the Taiwan Town Army. The generals of each army's warnings to the Staff Office are still profound.

Fortunately, the Taiwan Zhenjun and Kaiyuan regiment training are in line with each other. During the war, officers did not wear obvious signs, so they avoided the possibility of generals being sniped by the Japanese army in large numbers.

Ma Cheng is unwilling to underestimate the Japanese army, and even more unwilling to train successfully in Taiwan. The Japanese army suffered too many casualties. The Japanese cannons should not be underestimated. They are even more difficult to crack in the battle to defend the city, such as the battle of Wanli to defend Pyongyang.

At that time, Governor Xiaoxi used two thousand iron artillery soldiers to attack more than 700 cavalry of the Ming Dynasty. If the Southern Army cannons had not completely suppressed the Japanese iron cannons, Pyongyang would not have been so easy to fight.

In reply, he instructed Mao Wenlong to carefully release the Japanese suicide squad, that is, the samurai led the charge.

Is the Japanese's tactic ridiculous? Later generations said that the Japanese war was very funny, just a samurai rushed up to chop like a fool with his feet. The iron cannon was just an auxiliary. As the first round of shooting, the first round was a bow and arrow shooting. After the shooting

After throwing the stones, it will be a hand-to-hand combat.

Is it funny? Ma Cheng doesn't find it funny at all. If anyone thinks that an army dares to launch a tactic of human seas and the tactics of desperate charges are ridiculous, then this person is too ridiculous. This is all a lesson from blood.

Ma Cheng also thought that the human-firing tactics of the Eight Banners Han Army during the Battle of Xifengkou were ridiculous, but that battle almost destroyed the Kaiyuan army. In the era when machine guns were not available, the human-sea tactics were absolutely effective.

In addition, the Staff Office carefully verified the armor-wearing rate of the Japanese army and came to an astonishing conclusion that the armor-wearing rate of the Japanese army is really not low.

The armor style of the Japanese army is not much different from the horse-riding ethnic groups in the mainland. The armor is mainly composed of small pieces of leather or metal, and occasionally bamboo and wood with rich materials are also used. The main shape is armor hanging, the so-called armor hanging

, refers to the use of ropes to connect and stack the armor sheets. The next piece must always cover the bottom end of the upper piece, thus forming a armor-fit style with the lower layer wider than the upper layer.

There were very few armor hangings in the Ming army, and armor was replaced by cotton armor. However, in Japan, armor hangings always dominated the armor style. The armor hangings of the Japanese army were mainly used to prevent swords and cut, but they were afraid of blunt tools and chisels.

The Japanese have very strong defenses in armor-dressing, and blindly belittling them will only deceive the loyal and brave soldiers. The Japanese have excellent armor-dressing, which can be seen in the "Soldier Training Documents" by Qi Jiguang and Qi, which was once mentioned in the book.

In response to the excellent armor-hanging of the Japanese army, the Taiwan Town Army was equipped with a large number of Western-style one-handed axes, humbly thinking that the Portuguese asked for the skills of one-handed axes. The Western army had a large number of equipment, a sharp weapon for armor-breaking, especially in the cavalry army.

As an auxiliary armor-breaking weapon other than guns and knives, it is very popular among cavalrymen. The cavalry has a one-handed axe and has a miraculous effect on the armor-breaking of the Japanese army.

Everything is ready, the fifth year of Chongzhen, at the end of February.

The 50,000 Japanese troops finally gathered together in difficulty and launched a counterattack. The Japanese people all over the mountains carried the ladders to the trench, but did not fill the trench. They put a ladder dozens of meters long on the trench, and a group of four-foot-trench Japanese soldiers.
