At this time, the Japanese cavalry advanced to within thirty steps of the position, and the Huben Guards' artillery stopped firing.
But at this time, a large number of musketeers showed their power. All the musketeers spit out tongues of fire at the Japanese pirates who had rushed to the front of the position. Almost all the gunpowder in the barrels was fired out in one breath.
The Japanese cavalry never expected that they were about to win, but they would be hit by such a powerful attack from the Ming army.
Because the distance between the two sides was too close at this time, and the Japanese pirates' men and horses were densely packed, the hit rate of the muskets was also extremely high. After a rapid and intensive round of firing, nearly three hundred Japanese pirate cavalry fell, almost
Immediately, a wall of human and horse corpses was piled up. The other cavalrymen were also frightened by this sudden and violent blow. They were stunned and at a loss for a moment.
The unexpected blow caused hundreds more casualties to the Japanese pirates, and their number was immediately reduced sharply. At this time, the musketeers of the Huben Guards, the spearmen, and sword and shield soldiers in the rear also came out to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese pirates.
Combat.
Although the Japanese pirates were all cavalry, after suffering two major blows in front of the position, their vigor was greatly weakened, and the speed of the attack also slowed down. However, the morale of the soldiers of the Tiger Guard was high, and everyone
Fighting bravely, with one ebbing and the other rising, the two sides are naturally not competing on the same level at all.
Moreover, the Japanese cavalry had always thought that as long as they reached the Tiger Guards' position, the Tiger Guards would be defeated immediately like other Shu armies. Who knew that not only was this Ming army not defeated, on the contrary, everyone was very brave.
.Whether they were musketeers, pikemen, sword and shield soldiers, their hand-to-hand combat capabilities were not inferior to any of the elite troops among the Japanese pirates. Therefore, the soldiers who only killed the Japanese pirates were thrown off their horses and died.
At the same time, a group of troops were also killed on the left and right sides of the Japanese pirates. It turned out that Li Dingguo saw that the Japanese pirates were attacking his left line and completely gave up on his right line, so he ordered the remaining two companies on the right line to fight out of their positions and from his own line.
He went around to the battlefield on the left line in front of the headquarters. He came in from the right side of the Japanese pirates, and ordered the defenders on the hill at the end of the left front line to also kill down the hill and attack the left side of the Japanese pirates.
Under such a three-sided attack, the Japanese pirates could not withstand it at all. The clever ones immediately pulled their horses' heads and fled towards their main formation, while those who were slow to react were either killed by the Tiger Guards or abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
But after running away from the battlefield for a while, he looked up and discovered to his surprise that his main formation no longer existed at all.
It turned out that after the Japanese cavalry attacked, more than a dozen long-range artillery pieces of the Huben Guards had always targeted the Japanese pirates' main formation. After several rounds of shelling, they only caused numerous casualties to the Japanese pirates.
Although Nishidao Gaojiang, Chifeng Xuancheng and other generals were still safe and sound, the Japanese pirates' main formation was in chaos, and the soldiers fled in disorder, looking for places to hide. Nishidao Gaojiang and others couldn't stop shouting.
At this moment, a burst of gunshots like loud beans suddenly came from the left wing of the Japanese main formation. The soldiers on the left side of the Japanese main formation immediately fell into rows and fell continuously. It turned out that this was
Ding Yunyi personally led his guards and launched an attack from the left side of the Japanese pirates.
In fact, Ding Yunyi had been lying in ambush not far from the battlefield, and Ding Yunyi had been observing the situation on the battlefield with a telescope. He was waiting for the opportunity to launch a final blow to the Japanese pirates. When he saw that the Japanese pirates had gathered all their cavalry, they were preparing to attack Huben.
The defender's position launched an all-out attack, and Ding Yunyi couldn't help but sweat for Li Dingguo. Fortunately, Li Dingguo made a decisive decision and decisively ordered to take action first, bombarding the main formation of the Japanese pirates, disrupting the Japanese pirates' arrangement in one fell swoop. And Ding Yunyi also knew that it was now his turn.
It was time for him to attack. So he immediately ordered Duan San'er to lead all the soldiers to immediately attack the Japanese pirates from the left, and cooperate with the front to defeat the Japanese pirates in one fell swoop.
After Duan Saner received the order, he immediately led his troops to attack and formed a formation about a hundred steps away from the left side of the Japanese pirates.
The Tiger Guards' attack was based on a three-stage burst. After the soldiers in the first row finished firing, they did not retreat. Instead, they reloaded their ammunition on the spot. The soldiers in the back row went up to the front to continue firing, and then fired again.
The soldiers from the third row will step forward, and so on, advancing layer by layer.
Li Dingguo also saw this scene on the top of the mountain, so he boldly mobilized all the defenders on the right line and launched an all-out counterattack against the Japanese pirates.
Nishishima Gaojiang couldn't help being surprised. He never expected that the Ming army was actually ambushing an ambush. Because the two warring parties were too far away, Nishishima Gaojiang and others couldn't see clearly what was on the opposite position.
How many men and horses are there? I just take it for granted that this is the entire Ming army. If I want to stop myself on the position, I should go all out. Who knows that now another Ming army has come out and attacked my left side, Xidao Gaojiang.
I couldn't help but think that maybe my intelligence was wrong, or maybe the Ming army had sent reinforcements.
Ding Yunyi's decisive attack also became the last blow of the Tiger Guards against the Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirate soldiers were unable to resist any longer and had to retreat one after another.
Xidao Gaojiang, Chifeng Xuancheng and others also knew that the situation was over and that this campaign was completely defeated, so they had no choice but to turn around and flee.
Not only did the Japanese pirates fail to gain any advantage in Taze's surprise attack, but they lost all their elite cavalry and were completely defeated.
Similarly, in this raid by Japanese pirates, Ding Yunyi deliberately did not take command personally, but handed over the main command power to young Li Dingguo. He just quietly ambush on the side and played an assisting role.
Li Dingguo did not live up to Wu Liehou's expectations.
In the early stages of the battle, he made full use of the huge advantage of artillery to kill and injure the enemy as much as possible. But when the enemy suddenly began to use cavalry, he decisively came up with his own response.
It can be said that the military talent displayed by Li Dingguo throughout the Battle of Tianze is amazing.
Ding Yunyi had great expectations for Li Dingguo from the beginning, and even in this battle, he chose to trust Li Dingguo unconditionally.
And Li Dingguo also completed his task outstandingly.
Now, the headache is left to the Japanese...
Toshihide Asahi did not blame Nishijima Takae too much for the failure. The raid on Tazawa was the only thing they could do at the moment. It was also the only way to possibly resolve the siege of Kyoto.
Facing the dejected Nishijima Takae who wanted to commit suicide to make up for this shame, Toshihide Asahi slowly shook his head: "Nishijima-kun, what you want now is not to die, but to live tenaciously. Each of us
My life does not belong to me, but to His Majesty the Emperor of Japan."
Nishijima Takae nodded silently.
But he knew that the shadow of failure was hanging over Kyoto, and when the enemy officially began to attack, everything would become unstoppable.
At that time, the only thing I can do is to die and serve His Majesty the Emperor...
The failure of Tazawa's attack also reached Tokugawa Iemitsu's ears. He did not want to blame his subordinates. If he wanted to defend Kyoto, he must rely on these retainers.
When Idarigi came back, Tokugawa Iemitsu hurriedly asked him about the situation of the Tiger Guards. Idarigi seemed a little sad: "General, it seems that it will be difficult to win..."
"What?" Tokugawa Iemitsu was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"
"The General didn't see it with my own eyes, but I saw it with my own eyes." Idarigi stabilized his emotions: "The Tiger Guards have a large number of artillery, which is very scary. Their artillery can hit very far away, and can
Destroying many seemingly indestructible things. Japan once had artillery, but it was incomparable to the Tiger Guards' artillery. And their muskets, which I have never seen before. I really can't describe their muskets.
In short, when countless guns begin to roar, all obstacles will be torn to pieces. And these may not be the most terrifying things. The most terrifying thing is the determination of those soldiers to win..."
"Enough. Enough!" Tokugawa Iemitsu interrupted him irritably: "Date, who are you talking about? In your heart, no one can defeat the Ming army?"
"It's the Tiger Guards, not the Ming Army." Idarigi was not afraid because of this: "General, although the Tiger Guards are also the Ming Army, they are actually different. I have also been to the Ming Dynasty.
I have seen the Ming Dynasty army before, and they are two completely different concepts. The combat effectiveness of the Tiger Guards is far stronger than that of the Ming Dynasty army. This is not all. Their soldiers are united and loyal and obedient.
They have a seemingly innate admiration for their leader Ding Yunyi. They never doubt anything Ding Yunyi says, and they always carry out the orders given by Ding Yunyi to the letter. Every one of them even
I am willing to die for him!"
When Idarigi said this, he quietly paid attention to the general's expression. He found that the general's brows were tightly knitted together, and he was very unhappy.
But Idarigi decided to continue talking, because this is not only related to the future of Japan, but also related to his own future.
During the Battle of Akaishi Mountain, he witnessed the terrifying combat effectiveness of the Tiger Guards. Once the Tiger Guards decided to launch a desperate attack, Kyoto would face only one fate:
destroy!
And it is a completely hopeless destruction!
"General, how can you win with such an army? Negotiate, negotiate with the enemy, and I am willing to serve as an envoy again." Idarigi said, trying his best.
Tokugawa Iemitsu smiled coldly: "Date, I once had unlimited trust in you. Even though you were deceived by Ding Yunyi in Satsuma Domain, I have never wavered in this trust. But now you have
I am so disappointed. You are tired, please go back and have a good rest."
Idarigi wanted to say something else, but the general was no longer willing to pay attention to him...
The lost Ida Riki returned to his home, where his wife Haruko and son Date Honzon were already waiting for him.
Facing the concerned inquiries from his wife and son, Idarigi was silent for a long time, and then let out a long sigh: "Japan, it's over."
"Father, what did you say?" Date Benzong was a little surprised: "Is it really impossible to defend Kyoto?"
"No more, no more." Ida Ruigi murmured: "I have never seen such a terrifying army. Once they launch a full-scale offensive, the entire Kyoto will be crushed into powder. The fate of the Date family may change accordingly.
And a transformation occurs..."
He did not want to hide any of his thoughts in front of his wife and son: "Now there are only two ways for Date's family. One is to jointly defend Kyoto with the generals, but the outcome is already doomed. The other is to control the fate by oneself.
in the hands."
Ida Benzong seemed to hear something: "Father, have you and Ding Yunyi reached some agreement?"
Idarigi nodded: "Yes, I have indeed reached some agreements with him. But Wuliehou is very tolerant and generous. He does not need me to do anything to betray Japan. He only wants me to be in Huben
After Wei captured Kyoto, he was able to step in and stabilize the order in Kyoto, but I can't wait aimlessly here, I have to do something..."
Speaking of this, his face was full of complexity: "Kyoto will be captured sooner or later. Many Japanese have already served under Ding Yunyi. If I just wait here stupidly, then after Kyoto is captured,
Then I won’t be reused, and the Date family will lose its former glory. At that time, what hope do we have?”
"Father, please tell me what you want to do." Date Honzon's voice rose slightly: "The general insists on ruining Japan, so let us save Japan's fate."
"It is to save the fate of the Date family." In front of his son, Date Ridge did not have to show how noble he was: "Open rebellion is impossible, which will not only lead to failure, but also make the Date family in Kyoto
It is possible that the city will be destroyed before the city is broken, and this will be despised by all Japan. This is irrational behavior. So what I have to do now is to organize all the forces that can be organized, and then wait for the opportunity to meet
The entry of the Tiger Guards."
Date Honzon listened nervously as his father continued: "The first is our retainers, and the second is the Japanese who have the same thoughts as us. The first point is for me to do, and the second point is left to you.
.But remember, you must be careful and never show the slightest clue to let the general notice."
"Hai, I will not let down my father's expectations." Date said loudly: "No matter how difficult it is, I will do my best to complete this task. For the sake of Japan and the future of the Date family."
Idarigi forced a smile, now all the future is in his own hands!
