Chapter 417

From the time Nurhaci and his group were attacked by the first wave of lead bombs to Nurhaci standing up under the protection of the human wall, there have been huge changes on the battlefield that Nurhaci could not calm down in just a few dozen seconds.

The Jurchens at the forefront had rushed under the city wall and were baptized by grenades from the People's Army grenades. Thousands of Jurchens had fallen down amid the continuous explosions, and other Jurchens did not dare to continue to approach the twenty meters of the city wall.

Finally, Nurhaci issued an order to withdraw the troops, and the army began to retreat. The musketeers on the city wall came back to the front and used the muskets in their hands to send the Jianzhou Jurchen army away.

After the Jianzhou Jurchen army retreated to a safe position, after counting, a hundred thousand troops went to fight, and 86,000 people came back alive. In other words, just a tentative attack caused 14,000 people to lose. Those who did not obey Nurhaci's orders were almost dead, and some people who obey Nurhaci's orders were also killed.

When Nurhaci learned that the remaining troops of the army were full of seriousness, he could defeat the Ming court and become the new ruler of China. Nurhaci knew that the People's Army was not weak, but he lost so many people in just one tentative attack. The People's Army's strength exceeded his imagination.

Strong, too strong.

On the way to retreat, Nurhaci had already figured out that the person who attacked him was the People's Army on the city wall, or attacked with muskets. Attacked with muskets at such a long distance, this was no longer the muskets he remembered. Even if he had only equipped one thousand muskets, the Jianzhou Jurchen army could not capture the Parrot Pass, let alone the kind of firearms that could explode.

With the kind of firearm that can explode, the Jianzhou Jurchen army could not climb the city wall at all, and could not even get close to the city wall.

Just as Nurhaci was contemplating and reminiscing, it became noisy outside. Listening to the sound, Nurhaci could guess that it was the Japanese pirates in the army.

When the army retreated, the Jurchens who were monitoring the Japanese pirate vanguard army reported that the Japanese pirate vanguard army suffered a great defeat, and Nurhaci understood that the People's Army at Parrot Pass was as strong as the People's Army in Jiuliancheng.

However, the Japanese pirates who suffered a great defeat had already had strong strength, and the Jianzhou Jurchens also lost a lot of troops, so it was not the time to turn against the Japanese pirates.

"Let them come in."

Hearing the command of the leader, the guards let the Japanese pirates come in.

"You are too weak. The 100,000 troops cannot capture a Parrot Pass. You are so weak that you don't even have the qualifications to submit to Japan. I give you three days to capture Parrot Pass!" The leading Japanese pirate said arrogantly.

Nurhaci couldn't understand the words of the Japanese pirates, but there were translations among the Japanese pirates, which translated them into words that Nurhaci could understand.

Nurhaci, who was not angry even after losing the battle, became angry because of the words of the Japanese pirates. However, this anger was suppressed by Nurhaci. As long as the Japanese army suffered another crushing defeat, some people would be killed or injured, Nurhaci would dare to turn against the Japanese pirates.

After all, by then, the enemy of the Japanese pirates will not only be the Jianzhou Jurchens, but also the People's Army. Even if the Japanese pirates want to attack the Jianzhou Jurchens, they will not be able to send all their troops, and they will still have to leave some troops to guard against the People's Army.

He can't turn against each other for the time being, Nurhaci responded politely, saying that the Jianzhou Jurchens had just suffered heavy casualties and needed time to rest.

The Japanese pirates originally disagreed with the Jianzhou Jurchens for a longer rest, but they quickly agreed under Nurhaci's money offensive.

It is impossible to attack again. The People's Army stationed in Parrot Pass is so strong that even if a hundred thousand troops attack with all their strength, it is almost impossible to capture Parrot Pass. Now Nurhaci only wants to delay time until the Japanese pirates are defeated. The more Japanese pirates die, the happier Nurhaci is.

Nurhaci was not too worried about the strong People's Army. Nurhaci was confident that he could rely on the mountain forest terrain to resist the Japanese pirates, and he was also confident that he could rely on the mountain forest terrain to resist the People's Army. The People's Army was stronger than the Ming army, but it was impossible to defeat the Jianzhou Jurchens in the mountain forest terrain.

When the Jianzhou Jurchen army retreated and rested, the main force of the Japanese army led by Ukita Hideaki finally joined the vanguard army led by Governor Konishi. The two armies had a total of 130,000 troops, and the troops were almost ten times that of the Jiuliancheng People's Army.

After the two armies merged, Ukita Hidea and Governor Konishi sat together. If you want to learn more about the previous battles of the Pioneer Army, you cannot describe all the content of the battle through letters.

Muskets and grenades are the main contents of Governor Konishi's words, which is the attacks of these two firearms by the Pioneer Army, which caused heavy casualties and injuries. Ukita Hidea was very surprised by the two firearms equipped by the People's Army.

The People's Army has artillery and the Japanese Army also have artillery. However, even if the number of artillery cannons reaches hundreds of them, it cannot cause much damage to the enemy, even if the shells can explode.

The Japanese army also have equipment, but the maximum range of muskets equipped by the Japanese army is 150 meters or a little further away. The range of muskets equipped by the People's Army is actually more than 600 meters. This cannot make Ukita Hidea believe it is true. The gap between muskets equipped by the enemy and us is too big.

There are also firearms that can be thrown under the city wall and exploded, which also cause a large amount of damage to the Japanese army. They are not very useful when attacking and cannot be thrown on the city wall from under the city wall, but they can exert their power when defending the city.

Why are all such firearms in the hands of the enemy?

Ukita Hide's family was very irritable. After hearing what Governor Konishi said, it was difficult to fight Jiuliancheng.

Ukita Hidea convened a meeting of senior middle and senior officials to discuss the next combat plan. During the meeting, an idea was recognized by most people. The enemy put the most elite troops in Jiuliancheng. If the Japanese army wanted to capture Jiuliancheng, they would suffer heavy casualties.

In this case, everyone chose to attack in another place. It was impossible for all the enemy troops to be so strong.

In addition, we must find a way to pull out the enemies stationed in Jiuliancheng. The goal of the Japanese army is to capture the entire Liaodong area. If the enemies of Jiuliancheng are not destroyed, they will also cause great losses to the Japanese army.

Defending the city is the advantage of this elite force, so there will be no advantages in the wilderness/war. The Japanese army can take the opportunity to wipe out it and destroy this elite force. If the Japanese army takes over the entire Liaodong, there will be no major changes.

Opening the map, Ukita Hidea's family finally placed the next attack target of the Japanese army at Changdi Fort in the north of Jiulian City. Although it took more than one day to reach it, Changdi Fort in the Changdi Fort in the north of Jiulian City, the enemy's troops stationed will be much less than Jiulian City. Ukita Hidea's family does not believe that more than 100,000 troops cannot even take a small Changdi Fort in the army.

Next, the Japanese army divided the troops into two groups. Ukita Hideaki personally led the main force to attack Nagato Fortress. Governor Konishi led a unit to stay outside Jiulian City. If the enemy stationed in Jiulian City chooses to support Nagato Fortress, they will look for opportunities to capture Jiulian City. Ukita Hideaki will also look for opportunities to destroy the enemy's elite troops outside.
