Chapter 463: The Battle Between China and Japan (2)
Xuansi three years
October 3rd
The first battle between the Liang Kingdom and the Japanese Kingdom has officially begun!!
But the good news in the first battle did not belong to the Tongshun Army...
Instead, he returned to the Shenji Battalion stationed in Liaokou City!
When the Xingtian Camp soldiers who were sent out to investigate the enemy's situation vividly recounted what they saw and heard along the way, Guo Zimo, the guard of the Shenji Battalion in Liaokou City, could no longer sit still...
"What!!?? Massacre the people!!!"
"Yes, General! Those people who didn't have time to run, once they were pinched by the Japanese, were directly hacked to death! Stabbed to death! Those beasts were still laughing after killing people!! They even...even..."
"What else!??"
"Put people on the fire and roast them! And enjoy it...!!" The soldier thought of that scene, and blood immediately rushed to his head, and his face turned red. If it weren't for the strict order from above not to alert the snake, he would have wanted to destroy all the people in the sky. Throw down all the explosive bombs! Blast these beasts to death!
Hearing this, Guo Zimo slowly sat back on the commander's seat and waved his hand. After the soldier left the commander's tent, he immediately turned to Zheng Xikai, a Qianhu of the Tongshun Army beside him, and said in a deep voice: "This general... wants to send troops out of the city. ... I will leave this Liaokou City to you to defend it... I will only take half of the troops and horses with me this time..."
"General, are you really going to send troops??" Zheng Xikai took a step forward and asked softly.
Guo Zimo looked up at him, nodded firmly, and said coldly: "The general is out, and the military orders are not obeyed. I, Guo, joined the army to serve the country and secure the people. Now that I know that the people were massacred by the bandits, if I still let you Guo is watching from the side, so he might as well just kill me with a knife!!"
"No, the general may have misunderstood..." Zheng Xikai chuckled, raised his hand to wipe his nose, then patted his chest and said loudly: "What I mean is that I will go too!!"
"You want to go too?? Then who will guard this city!?? This is disobedience! You have to think clearly!" Guo Zimo looked dumbfounded. He stood up and patted Zheng Xikai on the shoulder. When Zheng Xikai heard this, he laughed directly. It's even more fun.
"General... you still don't understand the temper of my coach! Just what the soldier said just now, it would be better if I didn't hear it, but if I heard it, I would still stick to the rules here and stay in the city. Go back to my house Commander, I have to engage in military law! General, feel free to fight! Even if you lose, you will still have merit!!"
"really!??"
"Hey! That's right! Don't I know what my coach's temper is?? I'm going to guess wrong! I'll take the penalty for you!!"
When Guo Zimo saw the other party speaking so confidently, he couldn't help but let go of his doubts. He slapped the table and shouted "Okay!" Then he stood up and shouted outside the tent: "Command the whole army! Commander, make a plan!" !”
"yes!"

………………
Late that night, a Liang army composed of 20,000 Shenji battalions and 1,000 Tongshun troops took advantage of the vast darkness and set off in the direction of Qingniwa...
At the same time, more than 300 Xingtian in the city quietly rose into the sky...
In addition to the two soldiers, these more than three hundred hanging baskets were also loaded with a large number of explosive bombs. Their combat goal this time was to destroy all the fire places they had seen. Use cannonballs to "plow" again!!
At this time, the Japanese army was still in a group of more than a dozen people like the previous days, drinking and having fun in front of their respective bonfires, singing and dancing, celebrating their gains in the past few days, and facing the upcoming "wrath" of the Liang Kingdom. Don't know at all.
Until...the first explosive bomb was accurately thrown into the fire by the soldiers of Xingtian Camp...
"Bang——!!"
With a loud sound soaring into the sky, countless red charcoal, along with shrapnel and monstrous heat waves, hit the Japanese soldiers! Almost in just an instant, no living thing could stand up under the flames...
At first, the general of this Japanese pirate team thought this was a bunch of idiots who accidentally ignited the gunpowder he was carrying, but soon, with the arrival of the second, third, and fourth shots, the general finally Realizing that something was wrong, he was about to order someone to blow the horn, but he saw a black object falling into the bonfire in front of him...
"Report——!! General! There is fire ahead, and our army's Xingtian camp is throwing explosive bombs!"
"Don't pay attention to it, it's just the outpost of the Japanese pirates! After the throwing is over, Minggan Tianying will clean the battlefield and leave no one behind! Other troops, stay away from the fire and continue to advance!!"
"yes!!"
………………
If the weapons and equipment of the Liang army are the first advantage, then their knowledge of the terrain is far better than that of the Japanese army, which is their second advantage, and the night attack takes both of these advantages to the extreme!
When the sun on the next day had just cast a hint of fish belly white on the horizon, Liang's army had already set up thousands of artillery pieces in front of the Japanese camp in Zhuanghe!
"Attack the camp first and attack the ships secondly! Load them all with explosive shells——!!"
"Attack the camp first! Attack the ships secondly! Load them all with explosive shells——!!
"Attack the camp first...!"
…………
………………
As the orders were passed one after another to the front of the artillery camp by the ordering soldiers, a touch of joy appeared on Guo Zimo's face!
"put--!!!"
With a hoarse roar, accompanied by the shouts of countless soldiers, one shell after another was fired from the barrel! The breech was lifted! The soldiers loaded the shells again. In a few seconds, the first wave of shells was fired in the enemy camp. There was an explosion, and the second shell came one after another! It was shot out of the barrel!!
In an instant, the powerful power of yellow explosives was confirmed on these moving targets!!
The Japanese pirates' paper-like camp couldn't even withstand the shock wave from the cannonballs, let alone the scorching flames and sharp shrapnel!?
Dirty blood, together with their feces and urine, instantly filled the camp. Broken arms and limbs flying in the sky made them completely panic!
"Why!!?? Why can their artillery shoot so far!!! Attack!! Everyone get up!! Get the muskets!! Attack towards their main formation!!!"
First Army Deputy General Kobayakawa Takakage waved his samurai sword and shouted loudly, but his voice had long been completely obscured by the continuous sound of artillery. He could only bring his own bodyguards with him and collect the remaining troops while shouting loudly. Seeing the frightened Soldiers who wet their pants will be killed directly, even soldiers who lag behind slightly will be killed without mercy!
But this kind of weak resistance seemed so fragile under the bombardment of thousands of artillery pieces. The several thousand-man teams that had just been reorganized were sent to hell by successive artillery fires before they could even get out of the camp!
Until a few shells landed right next to the general, no one in the camp organized any resistance...
"Fix bayonets!! Clean the battlefield!! I don't want to live!! I just want their heads and build a 'Beijing Temple' to commemorate the people here——!!!"
"yes!!"
As the artillery fire ceased, only countless Japanese corpses and burning warships were left in front of us. However, this was only the first battle of this Liang army. The real main force of the enemy was still waiting in Qingniwa.
