But just when he raised his sword, Yahei looked down and saw the dejected look of these two poor people, the Ashigaru, and was suddenly controlled by a strong sense of déjà vu.
During the Battle of Osaka in 1616, when the world was conquered, he and his dead father were also in such a state of despair that they lost their souls. My father was shot and fell on the edge of the forest. A samurai came and beheaded my father, and I dragged the body unconsciously.
Feces and urine flowed all over the floor, and another samurai's sword was pointed at his head. The one holding his father's head turned around and shouted: "What are you doing with the head of a stupid kid? You haven't even shaved off your forehead, you idiot?"
Do you want to shave his head?"
This scene often appeared in his dreams, and each time his head was taken away by a different person. When he woke up, he didn't know whether to hate or thank the other person. If his father had not lost his head, he might not have been adopted by the church. Later, he also
He won't participate in the riots and is on the run. Maybe he has become a farmer somewhere and works for the landlord with peace of mind. Maybe he has worked under the account of a big name in the countryside and worked as a guard...
"Hey, can you still walk?" He hit the old one with the back of his knife: "Are you scared to death? Mute? Deaf? Or a born idiot? How could an idiot give birth to a son? What idiot woman gave birth to you?
of?"
Yabei's attitude is very arrogant - ever since "Squad Leader Demon" Yabei Hidetoshi was injured by an arrow, the corporals have been promoted one after another. Originally, it was not his turn to become a corporal as a big-headed soldier, but some real-name samurai were selected.
After joining the senator's cavalry guard, he was promoted to a corporal of the ninth squad as he was born in Ashigaru.
Although this last squad was not full of members - he only had five people, he still had four big soldiers at his command. Yabei naturally vented the countless "love education" he had received on his subordinates. Corporal
It should be delicious.
Looking at these two naked Korean Ashigaru, Yabei thought that since these two Korean Ashigaru are still alive, let them live. The leaders like prisoners. Now that the Australians are here, this damn world
Maybe it will become different?
…
The Japanese company swept away the scattered volunteers outside Suwon Cave during the dawn search. As Xue Ziliang expected, the volunteers did not place enough sentries on the outside. They did not even prepare the most common alarm facilities such as beacons. Xue Ziliang was interrogated.
The captured volunteers later learned that these Li Dynasty gentlemen had not yet completed their defense preparations. It seemed that they did not think that the "Japanese Kun" would soon send troops to attack.
Xue Ziliang has become accustomed to the poor military level of the natives of this time and space, regardless of their level of civilization, but it is rare to see such a low level: the other party obviously knows nothing about fighting, and in terms of level, it is not as good as the Hainan Island bandits he fought.
Xue Ziliang stood on the hillside, raising his telescope to observe Suwon Cave.
The so-called "dong" does not really mean that there is a cave - this is a unique place name in North Korea. Suwon-dong is a large gentle slope in the inland mountainous area, with a relatively gentle terrain. Although there is insufficient water for farming due to the slope of the terrain, pasture is prosperous.
It is a good place for grazing cattle and horses.
Mr. Jin's manor is located on a hill on a gentle slope. Its shape is very different from the North Korean cities that Xue Ziliang has seen: it is a simple mountain city. The manor stands on the top of the hill. The top of the mountain is completely flattened to become a
The circular platform is surrounded by a thick wooden fence standing on the volcanic rock foundation, with wooden towers and gatehouses. Inside the fence are many houses and courtyards, which are probably the residence of Mr. Jin and the residences of his slaves.
There are a series of concentric trenches and ditches on the hillside. The road leading to the gatehouse is only a narrow dug road at the front and back. It seems to be very tightly fortified - of course this is based on the standards of Jeju Island itself.
.
In addition to the mountain city itself, there are three or four villages and large wooden sheds and horse pens scattered nearby. They should be the residences of the manor's slaves and tenants.
Below the mountain city, there are five temporary volunteer camps set up around the mounds. They support each other with the manor. There are also fences and trenches outside the camps. According to the volunteers' confessions, there are about 400 people in each camp and they are equipped with Korean equipment.
Homemade cannons and blunderbuss.
In Xue Ziliang's opinion, this kind of defensive configuration is not worth mentioning. It looks impressive, but in fact it is nothing more than a chicken and a dog. But since the opponent is huddled together, it is best to put up a defensive formation waiting for reinforcements - a one-time
It is much more satisfying to annihilate the enemy's main force and capture enough prisoners than to launch a search war all over the island.
But what Xue Ziliang is most concerned about is to capture or eliminate the local powerful people on the island in the first battle, completely dismantle the island's grassroots ruling class, and make political preparations for the next step of integrating villages and settlements.
The scouts had marked all the possible roads to escape from the manor. Xue Ziliang ordered the snipers of the special reconnaissance team and the Fubo Army to control these roads and capture prisoners. He did not have many troops, so he decided to attack the manor directly in one go, with a short attack
The strike plunged the enemy into total chaos.
At seven o'clock in the morning on April 5th, the Ba Dao Team and the White Horse Team lined up in front of the manor. Although the White Horse Team only had bows and arrows and spears, they were still very powerful. The uniform uniforms, uniform equipment, and neat formation exuded a chilling atmosphere.
This made the volunteers in the camp soften their feet.
When Jin Dahai saw that the Japanese pirates who came were not genuine Japanese pirates, they were all "traitors" with spears, and there were not many of them. On the contrary, his morale increased greatly, and he decided to go out to fight and show some color to the Japanese pirates. He immediately brought a few Japanese pirates with him.
Ten of his men waved knives to cheer up the "rebels". Under his scolding, punching and kicking, the volunteers finally came out to form an array.
There are as many as a thousand volunteers in the formation. Except for the more than 200 servants of various lords who are well-dressed and have better weapons, most of the volunteers only use Korean-style "short guns". This type of weapon is only one person tall.
Stab weapons have no practical significance in anyone's opinion, but they are almost decent weapons on Jeju Island.
Although the specialty of Jeju Island is bows and arrows, there are not many volunteers who can use bows and arrows. Bows and arrows themselves are quite expensive and require constant practice. Except for people like hunters who make a living from this, generally
Few of the tenants and herdsmen were good at using it. Therefore, the archers were all servants of the masters. In addition, there were fifty or sixty fire blunderbuss of various types, some made by the Li Dynasty government and issued to the officers and soldiers, and some
It was left behind by Japanese pirates in the past.
More than a thousand people stood in a disorderly formation in front of the camp. In order to increase the chance of winning, Jin Dahai did not let the team advance too far in order to get support from the cannons in the camp.
However, even a frog in the well like Jin Dahai could see that the opponent was a tiger and wolf force. Although he had a large number of people, he was still a little uneasy, knowing that a fierce battle was inevitable.
The spring breeze blows on the earth, the pastures are green and full of wild flowers. The spring in the pasture is beautiful. The volunteers who were recruited thought about their families at home, and also thought about when they would be able to return home after fighting: the master has promised
The wish was fulfilled, the Japanese kings were beaten away, each person was given five measures of barley, and he was exempted from paying this year's personal tribute and rent - at least he could relieve his anger.
Suddenly, the Japanese war drums started beating violently, and the formation of the rebel soldiers was in a commotion. The servants acting as the backstop shouted loudly and tried hard to maintain order.
Rows of soldiers wearing "formation hats" began to walk out of the middle of the White Horse formation. They all held blunderbuss and walked out calmly to the sound of military drums. They quickly spread out in a horizontal formation in front of the battle line.
The beat of the military drum gradually became more rapid, and the soldiers made a sound, and neatly raised their blunderbuss and began to take aim. The volunteers became even more commotion, and the people standing in the front row pushed back one after another, trying to squeeze in.
Go behind people.
Seeing something bad, Jin Dahai quickly shouted: "Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow!"
He did not expect that the opponent would start shooting at such a long distance. The servants shot the first row of arrows in a messy manner. Most of the arrows fell halfway, and only a few arrows fell in front of the battle line. The entire queue was motionless.
, the sound of the military drum suddenly stopped.
A row of thick white smoke erupted from the front line, instantly covering the entire formation. The lead bullets pierced the air with a whooshing sound, and shot into the human body, tearing the skin, muscles, and shattering the blood vessels and bones.
Blood spurted out from the tattered bodies, and screams, wails and screams suddenly enveloped the entire ranks of the volunteers. The volunteers standing in the front row suddenly became confused.
The spring breeze blew away the smoke, and Xue Ziliang could clearly see through the telescope that although the formation of the volunteers still roughly existed, it was in a mess from front to back.
"Blow the trumpet! Mount bayonets and attack!" He originally planned to fire a few more rows of shots, but now it seemed that it was unnecessary.
Following a burst of passionate bugles, the Japanese soldiers of the Security Army started the "Pig Rush" with bayonets in hand and howls. Yabei took the lead, brandishing a tachi and running wildly with a piercing howl.
"Order the artillery to attack the camp with howitzers." Xue Ziliang ordered, "The White Horse Team is ready to attack!"
"White Horse Team! Get ready!" Following the Fubo Army officer's command, the White Horse Team flattened their spears and prepared to follow the next wave of assault.
Xue Ziliang immediately realized that there was no need for the White Horse Team to attack. The Ba Dao Team pushed forward in a sudden wave, and the volunteers who had already been in chaos immediately collapsed. The eyes of these genuine Japanese pirates were red, their bayonets were shining, and their righteousness was fierce.
The soldiers had been frightened by stories about Japanese pirates since they were young. Now they could not stand firm and immediately dispersed.
The explosion of the 12-pound grenade aggravated the chaotic situation. As more than a thousand poorly trained volunteers fled in all directions, the people who had been left behind in the village also became chaotic and opened the gates of the village to flee.
At first, Jin Dahai desperately urged his servants to maintain order, but when the shells fell and exploded, he could no longer summon up the courage to "fight to the death" and fled to the manor on the hill with his servants.
Xue Ziliang crossed his arms and looked at his watch: It has only been ten minutes since the shooting.
He ordered: "White Horse Team, enter! Capture more prisoners."
