Chapter six hundred and sixty-eight machine gun cover
Yoshiyama Ouchi had no choice but to return to his camp to prepare for the attack. But Tatsuo Hosokawa was very happy because he finally defeated Yoshiyama Ouchi in this round of competition. Yi Tusheng finally looked at him with a straight look. This has to be said to be a great progress. Next, he must firmly implement Yi Tusheng's orders and achieve extraordinary results in this position.
The soldiers had a full meal at noon and headed to the city at 3:00 noon. Ouchi Yoshiyama attacked Anyi, Yitui attacked Awa, Hosokawa Tatsuo attacked Okubo Tatsu's granary, Mino County Castle, In fact, whether Yitui's Awa Castle can attack, is probably irrelevant in the end. Everything is already related to the gains and losses of Mino County Castle. Okubo Tatsuo, who has been through many battles, can't not know this? However, his troops could not leave the city at all. Once he left the city, he would be attacked by Ming artillery fire, so he could not even send reinforcements.
However, Tadashi Okubo did not expect that Yi Tusheng would feint attacking his Anyi County. If he had expected or received the news in advance, even if the Ming army's artillery fire was fierce, he would have sent people out of the city to rob Mino County. However, all this was based on assumptions. In fact, when the Ming army launched a three-sided attack, Tadashi Okubo did not have any special good way to defend, but just did his own affairs.
Tadashi Okubo's total strength is about 80,000 to 90,000, which is almost as strong as the Tokugawa Shogunate during its most powerful period. There is no big difference. From the beginning, Tadashi Okubo has stationed most of the troops in Anyi City, preparing to fight the Ming army here.
So he only invested 4,000 troops in the two border cities conquered by Yi Tusheng. In other words, it is conservatively estimated that Okubo Tadashi currently has 85,000 people in three cities. However, according to spies, there are about 50,000 troops in Anyi City, which means that the other two cities have only 30,000 troops in total. Mino County is a key place to store grain, and the troops must be biased. It is estimated that there should be 20,000 troops. This means that the Apo County city that Yi Tusheng attacks now has only 10,000 troops, while Yi Tusheng has more than 18,000 Ming Dynasty soldiers, and their weapons are all armed with submachine guns and rifles. In addition, 1,000 people were assigned to control 300 Shenwu cannons, which would not cost the damage to the city.
Yi Tusheng stood outside the city with a saber in his arms and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, rush and kill me. Who can be the first to rush into the city to capture the generals here alive? I will give him all the women in this city as slaves. Crush and kill me."
Yi Tusheng's shouting was okay, as if a huge rock fell into the middle of the lake and suddenly stirred up thousands of waves. When everyone heard that the reward was so generous, they could still care about their lives. They raised their weapons one after another, pulled their legs apart, regardless of the arrows on the city head, and broke through the moat. They all piled up at the gate of the city. The Ming Dynasty people never used ladders to attack the city. Most of the time, they directly used cannons to collapse the city walls, and then the soldiers would rush in. This time, it was no exception. However, Yi Tusheng felt that this city was too inconspicuous. In order to save some shells, he even avoided the step of trampling the city. He directly ordered the soldiers to charge into the city.
The soldiers on the city were all piled up at the city gate and thought they had an opportunity to take advantage of it. They laughed and shot arrows from above. Many Ming troops died in arrows, but the good times did not last long. In less than half a stick of incense, a huge city gate wrapped in iron sheet and hit five inches was sieve by a submachine gun. The soldiers kicked the city gate and fell to the ground with a loud bang. They shouted and rushed in.
The Japanese soldiers who sneaked into the Ming army on the top of the city soon lost their target. When they woke up, they looked back and forth and found that all the enemies had arrived behind them. When they raised their swords and wanted to rush over to fight, the bullets were already shot in the rain. First, all their comrades fell down like electricity, and then they seemed to have been lit by something, and then they were confused and died of a bad life.
Many soldiers who climbed the city wall emerged from the battlements and shouted at Yi Tusheng: "Prince, I am the first to kill the city wall, I am the first." "I am the first, you are fake, you are fake."
Yi Tusheng was outside the city and laughed: "Don't fight for you all. I have already said that whoever can capture the opponent's coach can get a real reward. It's okay to be alive and dead, and a few people can join forces. At worst, you can just share it equally. Go, warriors, there is a bright future."
Those who were eager to get the merit turned around and rushed down the city, shouting: "Who is the head coach here? Come out, come out, I want to kill you."
The battle on Hosokawa Tatsuo is not so easy than Yi Tusheng. Although he used artillery fire and more than a dozen masters to charge, after an hour, you still could not shake the city, because the defense here is really tight. First of all, Tadashi Okubo placed twenty local cannons on the top of the city. Although the range was not enough to threaten the Ming army's charge, it would be very difficult if the masters of the Ming army wanted to jump like the top of the city with their light skills. In order to ensure the safety of the granary, Tadashi Okubo, a cunning guy, had a unique idea of adding 5,000 bricklayer craftsmen to the top of the 20,000 soldiers.
These fortification soldiers were not responsible for fighting at all. They were only responsible for using mud, lime and firewood to make up for the gaps that were blown out by cannons. The Ming army's cannons were indeed very explosive, but it was impossible to explode a hole in the face of a city wall that was two or three meters thick. It was necessary to continuously hit the same target to achieve it. However, these fortification soldiers were obviously selected by Tadashi Okubo and they were not afraid of death. Once the city wall had a gap there, they immediately began to repair it. They braved the artillery fire and were fearless. As the artillery fire splashed, several people died in a while. But the people behind seemed to have no nerves at all, and immediately added it up. In this way, the three-hour attack of Hosokawa Tatsuki turned into futility and lost a lot of soldiers in vain.
At night, everyone gathered in the Apo City that Yi Tusheng had just occupied. Yi Tu angrily slapped the table and said angrily: "I didn't expect that Tadashi Okubo was quite unique. He came up with such an idea to deal with my bombardment, that is, my armored troops were not here, otherwise his dream would have been lost. However, if he thought that using this method could stop me, he would be very wrong. Hosokawa Tatsuki obeyed the order and prepared me to attack the city tomorrow. All the troops were prepared cold weapons, leaving only 5,000 people to cover the city with submachine guns. I want to see how those idiots who use bows and arrows compete with my long-distance cover."
Tatsuo Hosokawa and Yoshiyama Ouchi have no experience or confidence in fighting such hot weapons. They cannot understand everything Yi Tusheng said just now. Fortunately, this is a military internship class, and there will be a real gun and ammunition in front of them soon. No matter how stupid they are, they can understand it.
The Ming army prepared two hundred ladders overnight. The next day, the soldiers pulled these ladders outside the moat. Yi Tusheng gave the order, and immediately began to jump when the Japanese soldiers on the top of the city saw the Ming army using ancient methods to attack the city, they jumped and thought that their spring was coming.
But as soon as their bows and arrows stretched out their arrows, they were suppressed by the submachine guns outside the moat, outside the moat. Five thousand submachine guns kept firing, knocking the city into pieces of pockmarked pieces, flying sand and stones, and sparks were splashing everywhere. The defending soldiers emerged and would definitely die, and they could not stop the Ming army's soldiers from climbing the city.
