Chapter 1158 The Silly King's Counterattack!
"The whole team! The whole team! Phalanx! Phalanx!"
"Attention all companies, check firearms, bayonets, ammunition..."
The twelve battalion commanders of the 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th regiments of the Ming Army Young Guards all held the handles of their sabers in their hands and walked around in front of their respective battalion formations, shouting from time to time.
The sound of shouting.
In front of them, twelve battalion-level phalanxes were neatly arranged, with clusters of torches shining and bayonets reflecting the firelight, shining with a frightening light in the night.
The four regiments of the Ming Army's Young Guards are ready for battle!
The temporary third regiment that Don Juan Jose placed in the Central Valley had long been beaten by these four regiments with their overwhelming superiority until the entire army was annihilated. The gunshots and explosions that were made before were actually caused by Qi Yuanbi and Yu Daren.
It was deliberately created to confuse the Spaniards.
Most of the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers were recharging their strength in the afternoon in order to launch a decisive offensive against the Spanish tonight!
Qi Yuanbi and Yu Daren didn't know at this time that Zhu Cihuan had lost his fortune and that his career, which had always been sluggish, had improved. They thought that the silly prince was going to pledge his life to the country in the blink of an eye... Oh
, his situation can be regarded as a pledge of one's life to the country, right? A pledge is still a lifetime!
Although Qi Yuanbi and Yu Daren don't care about Zhu Cihuan's life or death - everyone knows that this stupid prince does not like the emperor, and now he has cheated the emperor's pension money. He is probably a piece of shit that no one cares about and no one loves! But as human ministers, Qi Yuanbi and
Yu Daren still has to work hard to save the silly prince. This is a matter of attitude!
A good attitude can prove that they are loyal ministers!
In addition to attitude issues, tonight's general attack is also life-threatening for the four infantry regiments of the Young Guards who have advanced for more than 800 miles.
If they cannot break through the long valley where the Spaniards are defending, they will suffer heavy losses. Behind them is more than 800 miles of mountain roads, and there is basically no way to get supplies along the way (there is no other way except fishing, hunting and robbing Indian tribes).
There is also the possibility of being pursued by the Spaniards! This return must not result in the loss of three to five thousand people?
Therefore, we cannot retreat, we can only charge forward at all costs! Break through the Spanish defenses, rush all the way into the Satsuma Valley, force the Shimadzu family to surrender, and then sweep across the entire California!
Qi Yuanbi and Yu Daren were already on the front line of the north entrance of Changgu. Behind a hilltop, they were listening to the commander of the Sixth Regiment, Zhang Cheng, reporting on the enemy's situation. The commanders of the Seventh, Eighth, and Nineth Regiments were also here.
Waiting for Qi Yuanbi and Yu Daren to give the order to attack.
"There are at least four to five regiments of the Spanish Army! It is also equipped with a considerable number of Japanese soldiers. Those Japanese soldiers are very fierce and can fight better than the Spanish! Half of the muskets they use are flintlock muskets, and the other half are matchlocks.
.There are also 6 doors and 6 pounds of big cars! The breastworks have been constructed, from the slopes on both sides to the bottom of the long valley. However, no trenches have been dug, and there is no deer village...
Through interrogating the prisoners, we learned that there is a fortification at the south entrance of Changgu, and about one regiment of Spanish troops are defending it. In addition, there are two regiments of Spanish troops and more than a thousand Shimazu troops besieging Honxonji Temple where the prince is stationed.
...Admiral, Commander, we must launch an attack immediately, otherwise the prince will be in danger!"
Qi Yuanbi glanced at Yu Daren.
"Admiral, there are 12 battalions ready, ready to launch attacks at any time!"
The four regiments have a total of 16 battalions, 4 of which are already stationed at the north entrance of Changgu and the captured camp, and 12 more can be put into use at any time. However, the width of the valley in front of them is limited and they cannot expand 12
There is a separate battalion, so we can only attack in turns!
Qi Yuanbi nodded, "Has the order of the attack been decided?"
"It's been decided!" Yu Daren said, "All the battalions are in place."
"Then let's start! Before dawn tomorrow, we have to rush into the Satsuma Valley! Even if we use human lives, we will fill up the Spanish defense line! Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
The four regiment commanders below him all performed military salutes and turned to leave.
They all understand this truth. The Young Guards have rushed 800 miles away, and there is no way to retreat. Moreover, everyone already knows how heavy the Spaniards and the Japanese who rely on them are from last night.
As long as the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Young Guards are willing to fight, there is no reason why they cannot be defeated!
The four regiment commanders all walked in the direction of their respective regiment headquarters, and each regiment headquarters also moved to the front line, right behind the 12 infantry battalions preparing to launch an attack.
As bursts of harsh suona sounds sounded, the Young Guards' night attack began again!
Under the moonlight, the cold light of steel undulated like waves. Hundreds of officers and soldiers from the infantry battalion that was the first to rush to the battlefield stepped forward in neat steps, pointing towards the north entrance of Changgu...
..
...
When the battle started again at the northern entrance of Hase, the Marquis of Gasparra was waiting for Mitsuhisa Shimazu, Noyoshi Shimazu and his daughter in a tent outside Honshoji Temple. According to the order he brought, they were originally assigned to De Velasco.
The Japanese soldiers in the two regiments commanded, as well as the Japanese soldiers in Satsuma Valley City, were all gathered together and handed over to the Shimazu father and daughter. In addition to the Japanese samurai commanded by Shimazu Noyoshi before, a total of 2,000 soldiers were collected.
People come forward.
The old Marquis asked them to break away from contact with the Honsonji Ming army, then rest for one night, and go to fight under the Duke of Florida early tomorrow morning.
Shimazu Mitsuhisa took the order at dusk. It was already late at night, so why hadn’t he come back yet? Could it be that he was blind because it was dark and he went astray? Couldn’t they light a torch? What a fool!
The Marquis of Gasparra yawned, feeling a little tired.
How could a person of his age stay awake all night long like he did when he was young? He was so exhausted that he might be able to see God in advance... Just as he was thinking of this, he suddenly
I heard dense footsteps coming from outside.
Shimazu Mitsuhisa is finally here?
As soon as the Marquis of Gasparra thought that he could explain a few words, he immediately went to bed. His mood suddenly improved a lot. He stood up from the cot and strode out of the camp.
After leaving the camp, he realized that something was wrong. Through the moonlight, he seemed to see a large, dark group of people rushing toward his camp!
What's going on? Who are they? Why not light a torch?
While he was wondering, the German mercenaries guarding the camp had already shouted in blunt Spanish: "Who are you talking about?"
"We are samurai of the Shimazu family, and we have been ordered to come to see His Excellency the Marquis of Gasparra!"
Someone among the visitors answered loudly in Spanish.
Marquis Gasparra thought to himself: Why did Mitsuhisa Shimazu bring all the Japanese samurai to me?
At this time, two Germans were already coming forward with torches. By the light of the torches, Marquis Gasparra saw that among the group of dwarfs, there stood a sturdy man with a helmet on his head. This sturdy man seemed to be
He also carried a very long spear.
Who is this person? The Marquis of Gasparra is a little puzzled: Why is he so tall?
At this moment, the sturdy man suddenly shouted, then leveled his spear and pointed it straight at the camp of a German mercenary cavalry regiment where the Marquis of Gasparra was located.
What is this going on? Before the Marquis of Gasparra could react, the two German mercenaries who came forward had already shouted: "Attack! Attack! The Japanese are the enemy!"
Are the Japanese the enemy?
The Marquis of Gasparra was startled, and just as he was about to do something, he saw a flash of fire in front of him, and then he felt something hit him hard twice on the chest, and then there was unbearable pain and deafening gunshots.
Come!
Not good... When the Marquis of Gasparra fell, he already knew that something was not going to happen. The Japanese had rebelled and switched sides, and New Spain was going to suffer a disastrous defeat!
